Elevating the occlusal anatomy-composite restoration with stamp technique

The purpose of restoration is to bring the tooth to its normal form, function and esthetics. Composite Restorations are preferred because of their esthetic property and bonding ability to tooth structure. Cusp by cusp buildup in composite restoration is time consuming and depends on the skill of the clinician for achieving good results. Stamp technique for posterior composite restoration is a method for replicating the occlusal anatomy with near perfection. This technique is indicated when occlusal anatomy of the tooth is not lost due to carious lesion. This case report demonstrates a class I composite restoration with stamp technique.
