- Abstract
The article offers information on the restoration of Class V composite resin from hygroscopic expansion. It states that dentistry offers highly esthetic Class V restorations with adequate retention and perfect marginal seal. Hygroscopic expansion process takes place days after the finished composite resin restoration is exposed to the oral fluids. It is suggested that to avoid plaque retention and gingival irritation, the margins of all Class V restorations should be inspected several weeks after placement and, if necessary, should be refinished.
