The process of mastication is made possible through interdigitating cusps, Basic elements of posterior teeth Continuity with anterior teeth. Posterior teeth belong to the smile through their continuity at the vestibular aspect of the smile. so, the lecture will explore the aesthetic and functional outcomes achievable with posterior composite.
Objectives: 1.Understand cavity preparation design of posterior teeth
2.Learn placement of and carving of posterior composite
3.Gain knowledge about finishing and polishing the posterior composite restoration.
