Abstract

This study is a review of the literature to obtain a synthetic and current perspective on the clinical implications of the application of physiognomic fillings. To carry out the study, a number of 62 articles and specialized books were studied (see bibliography), these being included in the bibliographic references. Dental caries are undoubtedly one of the major oral problems, with a wide global spread and a huge impact on the lives of individuals [1]. Although the prevalence of carious lesions still reaches high values, to which we add the presence of dental lesions of a non-carious nature, the dental treatments applied are much lower. The physiognomic aspect among dental treatments has become a desideratum, especially for young patients, for whom aesthetics take precedence over the functionality of restorations. Composite resin restoration materials have achieved this goal, replacing non-physiognomic and toxic fillings fromthe amalgam.
