Abstract

ABSTRACT. Nowadays, restorative dentistry should be based in a preventive and conservative philosophy of maximum preservation of the natural dental structures. A “restorative continuum” has been proposed for the anterior sector of the mouth, not long ago. It involves restorations that are considered as “fusioned” to the dental structures, existing an intimate and sub-estructural relation between restoration, adhesive cement and dental tissues. This paper suggests and develops a “restorative continuum” for the posterior sector of the mouth, based on a proper planification that considers the biomechanics of the occlusion in each case, where these bonded restorations will have middle and long term satisfactory performance.
