Smear layer Cut dentinal surface form a unique structure called as the ‘smear layer’. It is composed of debris of hydroxyappatite crystals and denatured collagen. Smear layer is on the freshly cut dentinal/ enamel surface Will be removed by dissolution in 37% concentration of phosphoric acid in 15 sec etch

Filler classification Classification According to Size:- MACROFILLERS 10 TO 100 um MIDIFILLERS 1 TO 10 um MINIFILLERS 0.1 TO 1 um MICROFILLERS 0.01 TO 0.1 um NANOFILLERS 0.005 TO 0.01 um
Reduce stress Internal stresses can be reduced by, 1) ‘Self start’ Polymerisation 2) Incremental placement 3) Use of stress breaking liners such as:- a)Filled Dentinal Adhesives b)RMGI .
