Dental composite resins are types of synthetic resins which are used in dentistry as restorative material or adhesives. Synthetic resins evolved as restorative materials since they were insoluble, aesthetic, and insensitive to dehydration and were inexpensive. Unlike Amalgam which essentially just fills a hole and requires retention features to hold the filling, composite cavity restorations when used with dentin and enamel bonding techniques restore the tooth back to near its original physical integrity.

Amalgam filling:
Dental Amalgam is the most commonly used restorative material used for dental fillings. This contains a mixture of mercury with at least one other metal. The amalgam filling has been used for restorative method for many years due to its low cost, durability, ease of application, strength and bacteriostatic effects. The environmental concerns are regarding mercury emissions during preparation and from waste amalgam upon cremation of deceased individuals.
