composite resin
Composite resin is a tooth-colored material used in dental restorations, such as fillings. It consists of a mixture of fine glass or quartz particles embedded in a plastic resin matrix. This combination allows the material to be shaped and bonded directly onto damaged or decayed areas of a tooth, restoring its appearance and function. Composite resin is popular because it closely matches the natural color of teeth, offers good durability, and can be applied quickly in a single visit. It is commonly used for fillings, repairs, and cosmetic enhancements, providing a natural look while strengthening the tooth.
