Abstract

Composite restorations are a reality of day to day dentistry today.

They over the last two decades have revolutionized restorative and aesthetic dentistry. 

It has hoverer been always a challenge to make them look and function like natural teeth.

The materials not being like tooth tissues or the inability of the practitioner to master complex clinical techniques has resulted it restorations especially in the aesthetic zone that still look like they do not belong to the individual’s dentition.

In this lecture simple recipes and techniques combined with some new materials are being explained for the average practitioner to be able to do life like restorations with ease making them biomimetic and also to understand steps that can be taken to minimize or eliminate postoperative sensitivity.
