title: Shear strength of lingual rest seats prepared in bonded composite.
abstract: A study based on the single criterion of resistance to loading forces was conducted to investigate the suitability of lingual composite rest seats for anterior teeth. The minimum acceptable resistance level was chosen from a review of the literature; other basic criteria were described; and the desirability of this technique was discussed.
