Layering and curing techniques for class III restorations: a two-year case report.
The direct resin buildup of a Class III restoration based on contemporary layering and curing techniques allows clinicians to provide conservative treatment and a virtually imperceptible blend with adjacent tooth structures. This presentation describes a new approach to the Class III buildup. The importance of restoring enamel and dentin as two different substrates is also stressed. In this context, the selection of a microhybrid composite resin system able to reproduce the optical and mechanical properties of the natural dentition can help to achieve these goals.
