Direct Posterior Resin Restorations

In this program Dr. Nash demonstrates a direct composite case.  Patients are turning to direct composite more and more due to the economy and because the materials used have vastly improved.  When do you select a direct vs. an indirect?  What is available today that was not just a year ago, and what if any are the limitations to direct composites?  Dr. Nash explores all this as he replaces three posterior amalgums.   While dentist have a number of restorative products to chose from Dr. Nash utilizes a newer product from Septodont, N'Durance. Get his thoughts on this new material.
