43. INCREMENTAL TECHNIQUE

44. Shrinkage results in interfacial stresses, with the potential for debonding and/or local fracture of tissue or restorative. Shrinkage should be minimised as far as possible. Shrinkage

51. Wear Resistance Clinical Relevance : A low wear rate means that enamel-restorative margins and contact points remain at the correct level, and that gross loss of material does not occur. It goes without saying that a low wear rate is a prerequisite for a modern composite.

52. Flexural Strength and Modulus Clinical Relevance : The flexural strength of a dental material is an important property since materials may be used in thin layers or in poorly supported edges where flexural forces occur. A high flexural strength is therefore needed.
