(1995)* 2011 • DIDIER DIETSCHI • COMPOSCULP #1/2 GREEN
Contrary to popular belief, long lasting posterior restorations are not only possible by using a gold inlay and onlay or by an indirect bonded tooth colored ceramic restorations. Modern composite resin has long challenged this belief and offers excellent aesthetic potential and proven longevity as demonstrated through strong clinical and scientific evidence. All with a lower cost point than the equivalent metal based or ceramic restorations. Moreover, the direct application of composite allows for a truly minimally invasive approach with almost no preparation at all when it comes to treatment of tooth wear. This revolution in material development and its corresponding clinical procedures required specific instruments, which is why Didier Dietschi designed a set of basic shaping tools. This included two key instruments, the condenser / spatula to place and spread the material in the cavity and the modeling tool which allows for the accurate reproduction of the occlusal anatomy and allows for greater esthetics and function.
