This review addresses the rationale of recurrent and/or residual caries associated with resin
composite restorations alongside current strategies and evidence-based recommendations …

Objective The configuration factor (C-factor) is an index used to evaluate the relationship
between cavity configuration and the development of polymerization shrinkage stress in …

Objective The objective of this work, commissioned by the Academy of Dental Materials, was
