What is the disadvantage of using composites as restorative material ?
Correct answer: B. Decreased wear resistance
- A. Increased thermal conductivity
- B. Decreased wear resistance
- C. Decreased thermal conductivity
- D. None of the above
Explanation
Composites generally have lower wear resistance than amalgam, particularly in high-stress or posterior applications. Their low thermal conductivity is an advantage because it reduces thermal irritation to the pulp.
