Trouble Shooting in Posterior Composite

Amalgam has been replaced by Composite restoration in clinical practice in recent years because of esthetics and improved physical and mechanical properties. But composite resin is a very technique sensitive material and clinician should be aware of the problems in restoring with composite. The principle problem in resin composite are secondary caries, post-operative sensitivity, enamel fracture, cuspal fracture, maintaining proper contour and contact, micro leakage and nano leakage resulting in debonding. Many of these problems can be controlled by the operator. This review gives us insight into difficulties and problems associated with posterior resin composite. As a clinician, it is our responsibility to understand trouble shooting in posterior composite and ways to overcome them for successful long lasting composite restoration.
