title: Clinical behavior of composite resins.
abstract: Since the original development by Bowen in the 60's, composite resins have evolved into a widely used and successful restorative material. Although they exhibit certain inadequacies as a dental restorative material, improvements constantly are being made. Due to the aesthetic nature of the material, coupled with its potential for mechanical and chemical bonding to tooth structure, composite resins will become more broadly used in the future.
