A bstract — The clinical characteristics of four composite resins were assessed over a period of up to three years. Two hundred and sixty nine restorations of composite resins placed in anterior teeth were subjected to 380 examinations during a three year study. The restorations had been placed in the mouth of patients aged 11 to more than 51 years by a variety of operators and the clinical characteristics observed. An increase in defects and deficiencies occurred at the progressive examinations.
