COMPOSITES/INLAYS/ONLAYS
Dental composites are a group of restorative material
used in dentistry. Dental composites are a resin which provides
a strong matrix for a filler. The filler gives the composite wear
resistance and translucency.
The advantages of a dental composite over traditional materials
such as amalgam are: good aesthetics- composites can be made in
a wide range of tooth colors allowing near invisible restoration
of teeth.
In the 1990s and 2000s composites were greatly improved and are
said to have a compression strength adequate enough for them to
be placed in back teeth. Composites are placed while still in a
soft, dough-like state, but when exposed to light of a certain blue
wavelength, they harden into the solid filling. A properly placed
composite is comfortable, esthetically pleasing, strong and durable,
and could last 10 years or more.
