There are numerous restorative dental materials on the market. All materials work well in various situations, and what separates a good clinician from a great clinician is knowing when and where to use a certain material. This information coupled with the fact that kids can often be unpredictable makes it very important to be well versed with the placement of multiple dental materials such that providers can handle difficult situations. As we continue the search for the ideal restorative dental material, we must embrace the great ones that exist today.
