One is the availability of suitable materials for the construction of the restorative appliance; another is the development and control of a suitable technical procedure for using the materials that are available. This search for the correct materials, and for a method of manipulation or applied techniques, has continued from the beginning of dental art to the present.Factors recognized as important in the selection of restorative materials include size and location of the prepared cavities and physical properties of the materials. apart from these a number of other factors play a role in selection.
