The use of direct composites in restorations for some clinical procedures can be simpler and quicker than use of ceramics and other technologies that in recent years have often resulted in the practitioner doing too much restoring. The speed inherent in use of composites is particularly important in the era of coronavirus (COVID-19), when both practitioner and patient want less contact with each other. Moreover, resin composite restorations can be performed in a single appointment.


LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  • Describe how to perform restorations with resin composite in a single appointment. 
  • Consider how to avoid failures, fractures, and chipping. 
  • Describe how to perform a variety of restorations with universal composites.
