Contents
Composites are a universal topic. Still, different people have different opinions about their clinical value and feasibility. For ceramics, on the other hand, it would seem that almost no limitations apply. This expert panel will determine objectively which restorations can be made with composites, and when all-ceramic restorations must be used. The conservative and restorative dentists recruited for the panel are experts in assessing the indications for and limitations of restorative fi llings in terms of longevity, biocompatibility, and reparability. The panelists will also discuss clinical aspects of intracanal abutments and metal facings.
