Resin based composite restorative materials and their effect on oral and general health Literature review In

Literature review

Abstract

In dentistry, more and more new materials are becoming commercially available to facilitate a more perfect healing activity.
It has to be realized that beyond their restorative function in the tooth or in the oral cavity by themselves, these materials
are also placed into a dinamically changing medium, thereby they interact not only with their direct environment,
but with the whole organism. Keeping this in mind, it is mandatory to know not only about their properties and handling,
but also their local and systematic effects in order to minimize or avoid the potential harmful impact on the tissues or
on the whole body. The authors with this review would like to give an insight, a small guideline for the daily use of resin
based materials, based on the international and Hungarian scientific literature data. The goal is, besides reinforcing our
knowledge, to create a safer conditions and environment for the patient, the dentist, and the whole medical team during
treatment for the patient, the dentist, and the whole medical team.
