title: Posterior restorative materials research.
abstract: Novel materials and cutting-edge technologies developed at the American Dental Association Dental Health Foundation Center of Excellence for Materials Science Research are discussed. Some of these materials have already entered mainstream clinical practice, others are undergoing clinical trials and some are still being developed. The search for better posterior restorative materials continues.
