Wiki
Dental composite

Dental composite is a modern material for dental fillings. It is also used for fixing crowns, root posts and inlays.

Lay people often confuse composite fillings with ceramic fillings. Dental composite is made of synthetic resins which, depending on the area of application, are mixed with liquid particles of glass, resin, quartz or ceramic. Composite hardens quickly under blue light.
