title: Creating translucent edge effects and maverick internal tints using microhybrid resin.
abstract: Today's composite resins possess optical and physical characteristics that have expanded their clinical indications. The successful and predictable application of these materials depends on the practitioner's understanding of their material properties as well as the clinical requirements involved in their delivery; identifying the characteristics of the natural tooth is also important. This presentation reviews contemporary resin materials and demonstrates simple and repeatable guidelines for margin and material placement that improve the clinician's ability to implement microhybrid resins in daily practice.
