Eleven-year clinical performance of a premolar restoration made of an indirect microfilled composite material: a case report

Abstract

This report describes a clinical course of a premolar restoration made of a microfilled composite material. A single restoration made of the Gradia indirect composite material was seated to mandibular second premolar of a 57-year-old female patient. During the course of regular check-up, both second and adjacent first molar were extracted. Although the premolar restoration is functioning for more than 11 years, loss of anatomic form at the occlusal table is apparent. Care must be taken in application of a microfilled indirect composite material to posterior occlusal planes.
