Abstract

Composite resin is widely used in dental practice because of its esthetics. Dental composites incorporated with fillers has a great effect in practice as it brings about reduced microleakage, polymerisation shrinkage, low opacity for better esthetics and better colour stability. Shape, size and distribution of filler particles play an important role in color stability of composites. Microfilled hybrid composites have better finish and polish. Nanofillers composites have best finish and polish thereby providing very good esthetics and stability.
