Direct Restorative Materials

Used during numerous dental procedures including filling cavities, endodontic treatments, prophy appointments and even some cosmetic cases, direct restorative materials are placed intraorally. These materials are often designed to replace the form, function, and look of either dentin, enamel or both, and they can be placed using a wide range of techniques, and complimentary instruments and materials. Selecting the right direct restorative material depends on the clinical indication, the set up of your practice, and a degree of personal preference.
