The clinical success of direct composite restorations is the result of the correct use and performance of adhesive systems, resin composites and light curing systems. Total-etch adhesive systems and microhybrid resin composites have seen continuous improvement; various clinical techniques have been introduced to address polymerization shrinkage. Manufacturers have introduced sophisticated light-curing devices with the hope of improving performance. Direct resin bonded composites (RBCs) are becoming the first choice in many clinical situations. This article presents an experimental clinical technique that outlines the reconstruction of severely damaged posterior teeth missing multiple cusps; particular attention to incremental and curing techniques is adopted to complete each restoration. © Operative Dentistry.
