Dental composite resins have advanced tremendously to become the most preferred material for direct restorations in both anterior and posterior teeth. The advances in material sciences and adhesive dentistry along with the increasing patient demand for tooth-colored restorations have made dental composite resin the material of choice for restoration of carious lesions. The wide range of viscosities, colors, shades, translucencies, opacities, fluorescence, etc., available with the present generation of composite resins has enabled the clinician to provide a restoration that mimics natural tooth structure and optimizes function as well.
