Composite resins have been employed in restorative dentistry for many decades. However, conventional composites pose a disadvantage of limited longevity owing to marginal or bulk fracture and secondary caries. The recent advances in dental composites and dentin-bonding systems help overcome many of these disadvantages while offering much superior esthetics and ease of use. These include nanocomposites, glass fiber-reinforced composites (GFRC), self-adhesive composites, flowable composites, and many more.
Additionally, advanced layering techniques, injection molding techniques, CAD-CAM technology, and 3D bioprinting have vastly expanded the scope of composites in cosmetic and restorative dentistry. To gain more insights, join the expert, Dr. Varsha Rao , in an exclusive session on “ Current Trends in Composite Dentistry ” on 20 th January 2023 , 3:00 PM IST onwards. Stay tuned!
