Composite resin restoration in esthetic dentistry
Journal of the American Dental Association (1939)

Abstract:
The revolution in esthetic dentistry is attributable to improvement in materials, such as composite resins. The varied types of resins can be used in many restorative situations, using an acid-etch technique for these restorations, whether Class V, labial veneer, or posterior composite restoration. Dentists who take advantage of continuing education (especially hands-on courses), learn from experience, stay informed about current materials, and exercise imagination and commitment will meet the needs of the 20th century.
