Abstract
Several clinical and laboratory studies have reported data on the natu re of tooth wear against restorative materials (that is, amalgam, gold , glass ceramic and various composite resin systems). Several antagoni stic substrates are known to cause various in vitro wear rates when pl aced in opposition to enamel. In this study, the authors evaluated to commercially available posterior composite resin systems and a gold al loy control. The findings showed that posterior composite resins conta ining zirconium silicate or quartz fillers caused greater antagonistic enamel wear than did micro-filled or barium silicate-filled composite resins.
