Advancements In Tooth-Colored Fillings: A Review Of Composite Resins

Abstract

This study is a comprehensive review of the advancements in tooth-colored fillings, specifically focusing on composite resins. Composite resins have gained popularity in recent years due to their esthetic appeal and ability to bond directly to tooth structure. The study utilized secondary data from a variety of sources, including academic journals, industry reports, and expert opinions, to provide a thorough analysis of the current state of composite resins. The review highlighted various advancements in composite resins, including improvements in material composition, mechanical properties, and esthetic outcomes. New formulations of composite resins have been developed to enhance[1] their strength and wear resistance, making them a viable option for restoring both anterior and posterior teeth. Additionally, advances in shading technology have allowed for better color matching to the natural tooth, resulting in more seamless restorations. The study also discussed the evolution of bonding techniques for composite resins, such as the introduction of self-etch adhesives and universal bonding agents. These advancements have simplified the bonding process, leading to more predictable and durable restorations. Furthermore, studies have shown that composite resins can be as effective as traditional amalgam fillings in terms of longevity and stability. In conclusion, the review highlighted the continued advancements in composite resins and their role in modern restorative dentistry.
