title: A critical look at posterior composite restorations.
abstract: The limited serviceability of posterior composite resins relates not only to the lack of a durable composite material, but also to other factors such as postoperative sensitivity, difficulty in achieving proximal contacts, marginal leakage, and recurrent caries. However, most of the problems can be overcome by attention to materials used, selection of teeth to be restored, and clinical techniques.
