[Clinical observation of using composite resin to fill dental attrition on occlusal surface].
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical effect of using composite resin to fill dental attrition on occlusal surface. Whether the dental attrition had enough space to the material was determined first. Sometimes grinding the sharp and steep cusps or ridges of the opposite teeth was needed. Then the dental attrition was cleaned thoroughly, and finally filled with CLEARFIL bond and composite resin without preparing cavity. The follow-up period was 1 year. Out of 70 teeth from 25 patients, 52 were successful, 16 were curative, and 2 were failed. The curative rate was 97.14%. The method avoids endangering the dental pulp. It was easily accepted by the patients and operated by dentists, and can be widely applied in clinical cases.
