Recent advancement in restorative composite materials

Aim: To determine the various advancement in restorative composite materials Objective: This review aims towards the understanding of various restorative composite materials available commercially and also the advancement in it. Background: There is mercury present in the silver filling material, called amalgam, in the past century there has been no evidence showing that silver fillings are harmful to patients. But nowadays dentists doesn't use amalgam filling because of its various disadvantages like it can corrode over time, amalgam filling does not bond (hold together) with your tooth etc. Composite fillings are primarily a resin which has been "filled" with other inorganic materials. This compound makes a composite filling more resistant to wear, colour adjustable, and easier to polish. The various composite fillings used are microfilled composites, hybrid composites, nano filled composites. Reason: The reason for this study is to determine the various advancements in restorative materials.
