Title |
Resin Composite Build Up |
Clinical Question |
In a healthy male patient in their forties opposed to using amalgam, is resin composite a suitable material for the use in a core build up compared to an amalgam core build up in the production of a successful crown? |
Clinical Bottom Line |
Resin composite build ups can serve as an appropriate treatment option for a core build up in preparation for a crown. (See Comments on the CAT below) |

#1) 11203847 | Burke/2000 | Bench Top Study | In vitro Randomized Control Trial | Key results | Before the core build up was prepped for the crown the results indicated that amalgam core build-ups demonstrated higher fracture resistance than the other materials examined. Prepared core build-ups in a hybrid composite material provided the highest fracture resistance. | |

Comments on
The Evidence |
Extracted molars of similar size using a standard core build up were compressed using a universal testing machine to measure the force at fracture for each material. |
Applicability |
The patient who refuses treatment with amalgam for personal beliefs can be treated with confidence that a hybrid resin composite build up for a crown will be an appropriate treatment. |

by James Moore (San Antonio, Texas) on 08/08/2013 Being able to utilize different materials based on our patient’s criteria is of great benefit. This CAT provides valuable restorative information that is validated further by the following studies. Theodosopoulou, 2009, PMID # 19500237 provides a systematic review showing that “titanium dowels with a composite build-up are better than gold alloy cast dowels”. Fokkinga, 2013, PMID # 23495567 concluded that composite material could be utilized to build up vital teeth.
