  • Title: Class II direct composite resin restorations with beta-quartz glass-ceramic inserts.
    Author: Rada RE.
    Journal: Quintessence Int; 1993 Nov; 24(11):793-8. PubMed ID: 20830892.
    Abstract:
    With the increasing demand for esthetic posterior restorations, numerous techniques have been developed. The direct resin restoration has probably been used most extensively in Class II situations. Problems with Class II direct resin restorations include difficulty in developing proximal contact, occlusal wear, and polymerization shrinkage. Beta-quartz glass-ceramic inserts have been developed in an attempt to reduce the incidence of these potential problems. They can be placed in a one-appointment technique, are relatively inexpensive, and can readily be utilized by the clinician adept in placing Class II composite resin restorations.
