Composite Resin Restoration Assist · CDA

Which of the following is a major benefit of composite resin restorations in relation to tooth preparation design?

  1. They require deep undercuts cut into dentin for mechanical retention
  2. They allow conservative, minimally invasive preparation through bonding
  3. They require removal of all surrounding enamel for adequate bonding
  4. They can only ever be placed when a full crown is also planned at a later visit
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: They allow conservative, minimally invasive preparation through bonding

Because composite resin bonds to tooth structure, conservative preparations can be used — preserving more healthy tooth than materials needing mechanical retention, such as amalgam.
