Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To summarize clinical effect of light-cured composite resin in the restoration of large-scale tooth defects.
METHODS: A computer search was performed in VIP database (http://www.cqvip.com/) and China Academic Journal Full-text Database (http://www.cnki.net/) using “large-scale tooth defects, resin, light cured composite resin, restoration” in Chinese as the key words, for articles related with the clinical study and advanced progress regarding light-cured composite resin restoration of large-area tooth defects.
RESULTS: The light-cured composite resin is type of ultramicro composite resin filler, with moderate fluid viscosity, it cannot stick to the device and easily operated, operation time is ample, the shaping is accurate, color gamut is wide, clinical selection range is great, the polished luster is beautiful nature, mechanical properties are good, wear resistance is high, the affected teeth avoid grinding, the exfoliated can be restored, the treatment can be completed in a short time, therefore light-cured composite resins have been widely used in the current restoration of large-area tooth defects. Common resins still have some shortcomings, mainly poor elastic modulus and wear resistance compared with silver amalgam alloy, hardening filler or enhancing the binding strength of filler and resin matrix can improve the characteristics.
CONCLUSION: Durfill light-cured composite resin is a simple, convenient method for the restoration of large-area tooth defects, it raises the aesthetics needs of the patients, thus worthy of wide application in clinical practice.
