title: Conservative treatment planning in the posterior quadrant: the use of traditional and modern restorative materials.
abstract: Selection of an appropriate treatment modality is often the most challenging decision made during the restorative phase. The continued evolution of dental materials has significantly increased the clinician's ability to reliably restore severely compromised dentition. While strength and durability are invariably the most important considerations when selecting a restorative material for the posterior region, contemporary materials have further complicated material selection due to their increased strength and longevity. This case presentation discusses the combination of alternative restorative options for aesthetic results in the posterior region.
