- Abstract
Presently, at least half of posterior direct restorations rely on resin composite materials. The resin composite market is highly competitive between manufacturers providing practitioners with a vast choice from an array of similar product types. The aim of the present article is to provide practitioners an updated view on the resin composites presently available, which could represent the theoretical basis for choosing this material type for different clinical purposes mainly focused on restoring posterior teeth. A significant progress in the composition of resin composites is represented by the improvement of the filler system in order to enhance mechanical properties and remineralizing potential, as well as to provide a cariostatic or anti-bacterial effects. Some clinical factors play an important role in restoration longevity and causes of failure such as: the tooth type, the number of restored teeth per patient, the type of the substrate on which the composite is placed, some demographic, socioeconomic and behavioural variables of the patient. It is generally acknowledged that the operator ability is probably the most important factor in the longevity of a dental restoration. Placement of direct composite restorations (mostly in class II cavities) on posterior teeth rests a highly demanding restorative procedure. Technique-related aspects of posterior restorations rely on the knowledge and sufficient skills of the operator.
