Difference between Beauty and Perfection The use of aesthetic materials for he restoration of posterior teeth took place with the birth of the first generation of composite resin materials in the 70s. Forty years later, the rapid advancement and evolution of dental materials now allows high quality restorations of both anterior and posterior teeth, directly at the chairside. Direct composite resin restorations provide a great opportunity for dentists to reflect their skills and dedication. Dentists as clinicians must take on the role of dental technicians in sculpting the anatomy of the restoration and, as artists, elaborate the “aesthetics” of smile design, through a full understanding of the mechanical, physical and aesthetic properties of the available composite resin. This in turn translates to that superior dental restorations require a great deal of effort in terms of time and skill. To create long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing restorations, the adaptation of composite resin in the posterior and even more relevant in the anterior areas, is subject to a variety of challenges. One of the main challenges is linked to just the RIGHT Fluidity (Viscosity) of the material, which can greatly enhance the manual dexterity of the operator. By reducing stress levels, the practitioner can focus energy and attention on the know-how and perfecting both shade and form of the final restoration as it blends with tooth structure as a final restoration.
