Severe tooth wear can cause a number of problems for patients, but minimally invasive options to restore worn teeth are limited. A new study, however, has found that building up resin composite on ...

Figure 1. This preoperative occlusal view shows a carious lesion on the mesioproximal surface of tooth #15. A Class II direct composite was chosen in this case to restore this area. Figure 2. Applying ...

A Medical College of Georgia (MCG) researcher is developing a new nanotechnology technique he hopes will extend the longevity of composite restorations. With a two-year, $252,497 grant from the ...

Fewer trips to the dentist may be in your future, and you have mussels to thank. Inspired by the mechanisms mussels use to adhere to inhospitable surfaces, researchers have developed a new type of ...

Composite fillings show over 80% success in young children treated under general anesthesia. Bulk-fill methods reduce procedure time by 60% while maintaining high restoration quality. Material ...

After etching, this case shows how use of a bulk-fill flowable composite after chemical bonding can assure strength in a deep restoration. A second process is used with a nanocomposite to assure an ...
