Super composites can be used to replicate a combination of enamel and dentin in large volume missing structure cases posteriorly. Historically, a surface area threshold of 65% dictated the ideal material transition from composite to porcelain to bolster residual flexural strength, however, with an aging boomer cohort, decreasing economic stability and fiscal reserves, patients are increasing looking for alternatives that may successfully manage their esthetic and functional needs over time.

Restorative placement is about selecting what material to place when, and how to optimize each step for maximal bond strengths which can be paired with minimal post-operative discomfort.
