ABSTRACT
The introduction into Dentistry of aesthetic materials for the restoration of posterior teeth has been preceded by misinformation. However, it has also been boosted thanks to the obvious match in color with the tooth structure and the improvement in their physical properties, as well as the knowledge of the possible toxicity that amalgam restorations may induce, due to their mercury content.
Composite resins are presented as materials that, once hardened, could give the erroneous impression of being totally inert and completely harmless.
It is important to consider the possibility of these materials causing damage, and to understand the characteristics of components that can produce harmful and/or allergic reactions either when recently placed or during the aging process of the restorations.
