  • A. Prevent galvanic action
  • B. Are practically insoluble in oral fluids
  • C. Adapt to the walls of the cavity better
  • D. Have a higher coefficient of thermal expansion

Composite resin is practically insoluble in oral fluids, whereas silicate cement is more vulnerable to oral-fluid dissolution. Its higher coefficient of thermal expansion is a disadvantage, not a claim of superiority.
