Biomimetic restoration of posterior teeth using stamp technique: A case series

Abstract

Accurate occlusal topography of posterior composite restorations is of utmost importance for proper functioning of stomatognathic system. Large posterior composite restorations can be time-consuming as well as is a skill-oriented process. Minor discrepancies in these restorations can cause long term craniomandibular disturbances. To overcome this and related problems of posterior composite restoration “Stamp Technique” was introduced. This technique has easy-to-follow procedures and helps to obtain precise tooth-filling with functional occlusion in teeth having intact occlusal surfaces and can be practiced by dentist in their busy practice. This article aims to demonstrate and discuss the use of this technique in different posterior teeth of all quadrants.
