Clinical Cases, Chairside Posterior composite restoration 4 de mar. de 2021 Case by Dr Adrien Lavenant Introduction The patient consulted for a follow-up examination and presented with recurrent caries at the maxillary right first molar. A direct treatment with composite needed to be performed. We decided to use Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.´s CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES-2 Universal composite for several reasons: the efficiency of the treatment, favourable handling properties and ease of use. The clinical case illustrations below show the step-by-step approach carried out during a 30-minute treatment session. Fig. 1.
