title: The development of a composite restorative system.
abstract: Composite resin restorative materials have been used in dental practice for over 25 years. The original composite resins were subjected to discolouration and marginal breakdown. These problems have largely been overcome with the exception of marginal gaps at the dentine-restoration interface. The introduction of dentine adhesives has reduced but not eliminate this problem. This study shows how the marginal gaps at the dentine-restoration interface were significantly reduced firstly by the introduction of an intermediate resin and then further by using a dentine adhesive.
