title: [The ideal restorative material].
abstract: Dental restorative materials have to fulfill a variety of requirements. Based on practical application, a characterization is presented of the advantages and disadvantages of the different existing materials and which are still in a stage of development. Attention is given to ease of handling and functionality. It is concluded that neither a universally applicable nor an ideal material is available for restorative dentistry.
