title: [Composite inlays].
abstract: Composite restorations shrink most during curing. In large cavities more shrinkage may be expected. The composite inlay is especially developed to overcome these disadvantages. After curing of the composite inlay causes secondary polymerization increasing several material properties such as wear resistance and stress relaxation. Clinical results are reviewed and the benefits of the composite inlay technique discussed.
