Resin-based materials are rapidly becoming the primary restorative material to replace tooth structure and the low percentage of biological problems reported for resin-based restorations is testimony to their relative biocompatibility. Despite considerable advances in the understanding of the mechanisms, which govern the integration of resin composite materials with the dentine-pulp complex, considerable potential for improvement remains. Most of these improvements centre around a better understanding of the biological and microbiological risks of resin materials and will only be possible with improved in vitro and in vivo models. There are also a number of possible future developments in materials, clinical techniques and diagnostic methods that may improve the long-term success and reliability of resin-based restorations. The remainder of this paper describes the most likely avenues for future improvements.
