title: Posterior resin-based composite restorations: clinical recommendations for optimal success.
abstract: Resin-based composites are increasingly used for the restoration of defects in posterior teeth. This review describes, illustrates and discusses important clinical aspects of the posterior composite technique. A relatively new stratification concept oriented to the development of functional and anatomic restorations is proposed.
