Smile Escapes

In recent years, manufacturers have developed increasingly advanced composite materials, offering improvements in aesthetics, handling and mechanical properties. However, none of these innovations have truly eliminated the challenge of polymerisation shrinkage. This stress, caused by volumetric shrinkage during polymerisation, generates internal stress within the restoration, which can weaken adhesive bond strength, cause marginal gaps and result in postoperative sensitivity or secondary caries.
