Operator Errors In Failed Composite Restoration - A Review

Objective: In this study the literature was reviewed to investigate the operator errors in composite restorations. Data: Clinical studies investigating the survival composite restorations with at least three years of follow-up were screened and main reasons associated with restoration failure due to operator errors were chosen. Sources: PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane databases were searched without restriction on date or language. Reference lists of eligible studies were hand-searched. Conclusion: Composite restorations fail for a variety of reasons, and the operator should do everything possible to avoid this, from case selection to finishing and polishing
