title: Posterior composite resin: use for anterior restorations.
abstract: Because of its low filler particle percentage, microfilled composite resins--traditionally recommended for anterior restorations--are extremely translucent. Function, especially in terms of shear-fracture-strength, has been another problem associated with the final restoration. Presented here is the concept of using posterior composite resin as an esthetic restorative material for anterior teeth.
