Inhaltsangabe

The history of tooth-colored aesthetic restorations started with silicate cement followed by polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). While both the materials demonstrated decent initial aesthetics, they had poor physical properties. Therefore, composite resins were introduced to overcome the inherent shortcomings of the previous materials. Earlier, composites were used only as an anterior restorative material, but now due to their improved mechanical properties, they are used even in posterior areas. Not only this, but their versatility has also led to their utilization in other areas of dentistry including splinting and bonding orthodontic brackets. Therefore, this book gives a review of the advancements of composite materials that had taken place over the years.
