Colour and surface finish of dental composite resin

Composite resins are direct restorative materials widely used in restorative dentistry. Despite their simplicity in clinical use, resin restorations tend to suffer pigmentation and wear over time, and it is important to investigate the effect of variables such as the restoration surface finishing protocol or the pigmentation medium on the colour stability and surface texture of the restorative material. The study presented in this book suggests a more appropriate protocol for restoring decayed and/or fractured teeth, with possible greater colour stability and visual appearance of the restoration.
