Features of a Dental Composite Kit

1. Composite Resin Material

   • Comes in different shades to match natural teeth.
   • Available in micro-hybrid, nano-hybrid, and bulk-fill varieties.
   • Provides strong adhesion and durability for restorations.

2. Bonding Agent & Etchant

   • Bonding agent ensures strong adhesion between the composite and the tooth surface.
   • Etchant (usually 37% phosphoric acid) helps prepare the tooth for bonding by increasing micro-retention.

3. Light-Curing System

   • Most composite resins are light-cured using a blue LED curing light.
   • Ensures proper hardening and durability.

4. Sculpting & Finishing Instruments

   • Includes spatulas, composite placement instruments, and contouring tools.
   • Some kits include polishing discs and burs for a smooth finish.

5. Flowable & Packable Composites

   • Flowable composite: Used for small fillings, liners, and base layers.
   • Packable composite: Thicker consistency, used for larger cavities and build-ups.

6. Radiopacity

   • Most composite resins are radiopaque, allowing them to be visible on X-rays.

7. Biocompatibility & Aesthetics

   • Safe for oral tissues with minimal allergic reactions.
   • Provides a natural appearance, making it ideal for front and back teeth.
