[Experience with composite filling materials for posterior teeth].

G Vanherle, P Lambrechts, M Braem

    Deutsche Zahnarztliche Zeitschrift
    |September 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    Composite materials for posterior teeth fillings are debated due to wear resistance and shrinkage issues. Dentists should carefully select cases for composite use to prevent secondary caries.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Dental Materials Science

    Background:

    • The use of composite materials for posterior teeth restorations remains a controversial topic in dentistry.
    • Despite widespread clinical application, universal acceptance is lacking due to material limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To critically evaluate the current standing of composite materials in posterior restorations.
    • To identify key challenges and provide recommendations for clinical application.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and clinical practice analysis.
    • Evaluation of material properties: wear resistance and polymerization shrinkage.
    • Assessment of clinical outcomes related to marginal integrity and secondary caries.

    Main Results:

    • Composite materials exhibit insufficient wear resistance and significant polymerization shrinkage, impacting clinical function.
    • These properties contribute to marginal gap formation and an increased risk of secondary caries.
    • Improvements in clinical application techniques are crucial for mitigating these issues.

    Conclusions:

    • Composite materials for posterior teeth should be used only in carefully selected indications.
    • Dentists must be aware of the limitations and employ meticulous techniques to ensure longevity and prevent failure.
    • Further material advancements are needed to overcome current clinical challenges.
