Composite Complications 0923 ST

Abstract

Composite Complications: Predictable Solutions

  1. Early failure of the restoration, cusp or restoration breaks, recurrent caries
  2. Recurrent caries leading to failure of the restoration, open margins, sensitivity
  3. Contamination of the prep leading to sensitivity, lack of adhesion, failure of the restoration, caries
  4. The color of the restoration does not match the adjacent teeth
  5. New interproximal caries on the tooth adjacent to the tooth that was restored previously
  6. Tooth becomes sensitive after the restoration is placed
  7. Inadequate polymerization, incomplete conversion, free monomer, insufficient hardness, increased wear, sensitivity, reduced strength, and early failure of restoration
  8. Open contact leading to food traps, gingival, and patient irritation
  9. Restoration is rough, enamel margins are mutilated, white lines appear upon finishing
  10. Poorly done composite leading to esthetic and functional concerns
