  • Composite resin restorative dental materials designed to be used as plastic fillings, for in situ restoration of the appearance, structure and/or function of a patient\'s teeth and require an activator and a catalyst to activate polymerization. These composite restorative dental materials consist of a synthetic organic photo-polymerizable resin matrix in which a blend of particles (e.g., glass, quartz, silica) acting as fillers are dispersed. Light-cured composite resin restorative dental materials are supplied in a single-paste system that is polymerized in situ by the application of ultraviolet or visible light. They are usually strong, durable, easy to manipulate and shape. These composite resin restorative dental materials provide dense restorations because no mixing is required that might introduce air bubbles (i.e., porosity). Light-cured composite restorative dental materials are placed in highly visible areas (e.g., the central incisors or any other teeth that can be seen when smiling) or in areas where conservation of tooth structure is a top priority. They are used in dentists\' offices.
