This review of the performance (retention/fracture) of bulk-fill and incremental filled composite restorations place in the posterior teeth of adult patients included 14 RCTs. Only 4 of the studies were at low risk of bias and while no difference was shown between the two approaches but the number of failures was small small.

This review of the efficacy of 3 caries removal strategies (complete, selective and stepwise) in primary teeth included 8 RCTs suggesting a lower risk of pulp exposure with selective and stepwise approaches.

Composite resin restorations are becoming a regular element of restorative dental care. Usually they are photo-polymerised, and polymerization protocols are considered to be one potential factor in the marginal quality of these restorations. The aim of this study was to compare the marginal quality of composite restorations employing two polymerisation protocols, namely regular versus high [read the full story…]
