Modern restorative dentistry offers many methods of restoring the carious teeth. The advancements in adhesive dentistry have brought significant changes in the treatment of caries. Dental composite formulations have been continuously evolving ever since BISGMA was introduced to dentistry by Bowen in 1962. The composite materials can be divided into direct and indirect resin composites (IRC). In some situations, indirect composite techniques are more advantageous than direct composite filling techniques, such as establishing proper occlusal and inter-proximal anatomy, reducing polymerization shrinkage stress, and promoting the degree of conversion. Indirect composite restorations are usually recommended in posterior teeth requiring large restorations. The given functional and esthetic outcomes demonstrate the promising applicability of the indirect composite technique.
