title: Bite-formed posterior resin composite restorations, placed with a self-etching primer and a novel matrix.
abstract: Problems encountered in placement of posterior resin composite restorations have limited their clinical application. This article identifies and solves 4 of the frequently encountered problems: establishment of tight and anatomically correct contacts, refinement of occlusion, postoperative sensitivity, and time required for the procedure. A posterior resin composite is placed using a self-etching primer. A novel matrix, flowable composite, and bite-formed occlusion facilitate the clinical procedure.
