Composite Complications: Predictable Solutions
This report identifies a range of such complications, describes the challenges contributing to their occurrence, and provides solutions that can lead to improved success in resin-based composite restorations for practitioners.
This is one article from the September 2023 issue of Clinicians Report.
Abstract
Composite Complications: Predictable Solutions
- Early failure of the restoration, cusp or restoration breaks, recurrent caries
- Recurrent caries leading to failure of the restoration, open margins, sensitivity
- Contamination of the prep leading to sensitivity, lack of adhesion, failure of the restoration, caries
- The color of the restoration does not match the adjacent teeth
- New interproximal caries on the tooth adjacent to the tooth that was restored previously
- Tooth becomes sensitive after the restoration is placed
- Inadequate polymerization, incomplete conversion, free monomer, insufficient hardness, increased wear, sensitivity, reduced strength, and early failure of restoration
- Open contact leading to food traps, gingival, and patient irritation
- Restoration is rough, enamel margins are mutilated, white lines appear upon finishing
- Poorly done composite leading to esthetic and functional concerns
