Can light cured composite resin be used for dental filling

Light cured composite resin can be used for dental filling. It has excellent mechanical properties, good aesthetic effects, and strong bonding ability. But it is also necessary to pay attention to its limitations, including poor wear resistance and the possibility of causing tooth sensitivity.
1. Advantages: Light cured composite resin dental restorations have good mechanical properties and can effectively withstand chewing forces. In addition, due to its color being similar to teeth, it has a good aesthetic effect. In addition, light cured composite resin has strong adhesion to teeth, which can better bond to teeth and enhance the stability of dental fillings.
2. Limitations: The wear resistance of light cured composite resin is poor. If used to supplement large areas of tooth defects, it may cause the restoration to wear out too quickly, affecting the repair effect. In addition, light cured composite resin materials may cause tooth sensitivity, and it is necessary to fill the bottom layer if necessary.
Therefore, whether to use light cured composite resin for dental filling should be determined based on the individual's specific situation and the doctor's advice.
