Limitations of large composite restorations in the management of the worn dentition

Aims and Objectives:

• The limitations of composite resin materials will be discussed with specific reference to their usefulness and longevity in managing very complex cases.
  
• Strategies for maximising the prognosis of these materials in these challenging applications will be thoroughly discussed.
  
• Rather than focus on successful treatments alone, I hope to review failures I have experienced over many years of practice how that has shaped my use of composite in the management of the worn dentition.

Learning outcomes:

• Understand the limitations of large composite restorations.
  
• Learn techniques to improve the delivery of large composite restorations.
  
• Understand how patient selection will affect your patients treatment outcome
