The dental field is shifting from amalgam to tooth-colored restorations. This article reviews current alternatives and the challenges of adhesive dentistry during this transition.

Area of Science:

  • Operative Dentistry
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Patient preference for biocompatible, safe, and aesthetically pleasing restorations is decreasing amalgam use.
  • The field of operative dentistry is transitioning from amalgam-based to post-amalgam restorative materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current state of tooth-colored restorative materials, including amalgam substitutes and alternatives.
  • To discuss the principles and challenges of adhesive dentistry in the context of modern restorative practices.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of national and international trends in restorative dentistry.
  • Analysis of adhesive dentistry techniques, emphasizing tooth preparation.
  • Identification of challenges faced by clinicians during the transition period.
