After rubber dam placement, amalgam fillings were removed and tooth surfaces prepared and cleaned with sandblasting, before applying composite. A highly filled homogenous nanohybrid material (inspiro) was used and sculpted before light curing, enabling proper anatomy and function to be established. Figs. 2m & n: The same treatment sequence was applied to all of the lower and upper quadrants. These images show that composite serves both to fill existing cavities and to replace eroded or worn tissue, creating better function, restabilising proper anatomy and aesthetics, and finally protecting damaged tissue from further degradation.
