Abstract: | This paper presents a technique for restoring maxillary posterior teeth with a combined composite resin and amalgam restoration when the preparation extends buccally into an esthetically critical area. This technique has two major advantages over traditional combined restorations: it requires only one clinical appointment, and it provides an esthetically acceptable result while maintaining the advantages of an amalgam restoration. A clinical assessment of 12 of these restorations, in vivo for 0.8 to 6.4 years, is presented. All but one restoration received a score of excellent or acceptable. |
