If I don't have aesthetic concerns, I prefer glass ionomer (Equa forte). I use bulk-fill composite in deep cavities. So, you?
several restorative material and approach available, case and protocol might have a major role and minor role for the operator preference.
The choice of materials for posterior restorations is dependent on multiple factors: the size of the lesion/restoration, the location, ability to control moisture, the occlusal scheme, patient acceptance etc. I use multiple restorative materials and my preference varies situationally.
Ideally a composite onlay, associated with proximal extensions. This is economic with tooth substance and easily repaired.
Composite resins are extremely widely used for restoring posterior teeth, due to their adequate biomechanical and esthetic properties.
Composite resins can be used by means of several techniques based on enamel-dentin adhesion.
Let’s rephrase the question..Cost NOT being a factor, what do you consider the ideal material to replace lost posterior tooth structure?
