“…The existing restorations with which the patient presented to the dental office are an example of how lack of planning and understanding of the way that different opacities and translucencies of composite resin behave will compromise restorations. 13 During the shade selection process, the main goal was to select a dentin shade that matched the area of the tooth that is less affected by extrinsic or intrinsic factors. 3 The cervical third of a tooth is affected by the surrounding gingival tissue (extrinsic), which adds red or pink to the existing dental shade.…”

“…Direct composites are widely used by dentists to restore damaged anterior teeth in a clinical setting, which can be challenging and are considered technique sensitive, while indirect composites are cured outside the mouth or involve the laboratory preparation . Since direct composites were introduced initially as dental restorative materials, it has presented excellent optical and mechanical properties along with patients' growing demand for dental composites for nearly 50 years . Indirect composites are introduced by Touati and Mörmann for posterior inlays and onlays in the 1980s, which offer an esthetic alternative for large posterior restorations .…”

Dental composites are comprised of a polymerizable matrix and reinforcing fillers that can be hardened into a solid restoration in the prepared tooth cavity. Composites are becoming increasingly popular due to their esthetics and improved mechanical and physical properties. However, dental composites still encounter several problems, mainly secondary (recurrent) caries, restoration fracture, excessive wear, marginal degradation, and tooth sensitivity. Therefore, extensive efforts are underway to improve the composite compositions and microstructure, and enhance their clinical performance and longevity. Relying on advances in materials science and technology, dental composites have been continuously improved and their clinical applications have been expanded. In this review article, the development of dental composites was summarized, including compositional changes, performance improvements in key areas, current research hot spots, and outlook for future direction. The intention is to provide a review of the history and development of dental composites with a discussion of strategies on addressing the current challenges facing dental composites. In addition, this review will provide a better understanding of dental composites and their properties for the practicing clinicians, to contribute to improving the quality of composite restorations. The review of literature indicates that while current composites are generally bio‐inert and can replace the missing tooth structure, future composites should be bioactive and therapeutic to inhibit caries, modulate biofilms, and protect the surrounding tooth structures, in order to increase the restoration longevity. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…[ 28 ] The fundamental principle of polychromatic layering technique is to use different composite shades to replicate the layers seen in natural teeth which can be described in layers as palatal enamel layer, dentine layer, special features, opalescents, characterizations, and intensives.

Polymerization shrinkage is one of the dental clinician's main entanglements when placing resin-based composite restorations. None of the method can assure a perfectly sealed restoration for adhesive restorative materials; clinicians must abode problems of polymerization shrinkage and its possible ill effects. The objective of this article is to review different incremental techniques that can ruin the polymerization shrinkage stress of direct composite restoration.
