Dental restorative materials are used to repair or rebuild damaged tooth structure, and restore function and appearance. They can include composite materials, glass ionomers, temporary filling materials, cements, core build-up materials, and related placement accessories.
Light-cure composites polymerise when exposed to a compatible curing light, while self-cure materials set through a chemical reaction after mixing. Dual-cure materials combine both mechanisms. The most appropriate option will depend on the clinical procedure, access for light curing, and the manufacturer's instructions.
Glass ionomer materials are used for a range of restorative and luting applications depending on the formulation. They may be selected for procedures where their handling characteristics, adhesion, and fluoride-releasing properties are appropriate. You should always follow the manufacturer's indications and instructions for use.
Matrix bands and matrices help establish the contour and shape of a restoration, while wedges can help secure the matrix and support adaptation around the tooth. Different systems are available for different restorative techniques and tooth positions.
When choosing a restorative material, you should consider the type and location of the restoration, material properties, curing method, handling characteristics, shade requirements, and compatibility with your existing bonding or cementation system. Manufacturer instructions and the needs of the individual clinical case should also guide product selection.
Core build-up procedures can involve composite core materials, dentine replacement materials, pins, posts, and associated bonding or placement products. The appropriate system will depend on the amount of remaining tooth structure, planned restoration, and chosen clinical technique.
