Adhesively bonded composite resin has become the material of choice for dentists and patients. Patients’ demand for a beautiful smile is greater than ever and the perfect optical integration of a restoration is one of the major objectives. The proven layering technique is commonly claimed to reproduce the natural aspects of dentition. However, it demands a thorough acquaintance of adhesive protocols, which makes it complex and time consuming. Advancements in the field of new materials and proven techniques will enable dentists to do composite resin restorations of high quality and aesthetics by becoming more effective and efficient.
