Dental Materials
Light-cured composites do not require mixing, which reduces porosity and staining. They also allow for better control over working time and increased color stability due to the use of aliphatic amines.

ProsthodonticsMaryland bridges (resin-retained FPDs) depend upon micromechanical retention. The metal framework is etched or sandblasted to create surface irregularities that allow mechanical interlocking with resin cement. This micromechanical retention, combined with chemical bonding to tooth structure, provides adequate retention for conservative fixed prostheses with minimal tooth preparation.
