title: Some principles in the selection and use of some tooth-coloured materials and techniques--1998.
abstract: In an era when many clinicians are confused or almost overwhelmed by the rapidity of change in the field of conservative dentistry, the purpose of this presentation/paper is to identify briefly, with 'bottom line' statements, the research evidence in many topics within this field. The fields to be covered are glass ionomer restorations, 'compomer' restorations, composite resins, 'posterior composites', post-restoration sensitivity, direct pulp therapy, resin bonding to enamel and to dentine.
