Connected dentistry: Back to the future with CEREC technologies

The Class II restoration remains one of the most common—and technically demanding—procedures in dentistry. Every day, clinicians must deliver durable, aesthetic and anatomically precise posterior restorations under time pressure and often for limited return. Advanced resin composites such as TPH Spectra ST, bulk-fill materials such as SDR flow+ and sectional matrix systems such as Palodent continue to address core challenges in direct posterior composite restorations. However, outcomes in larger or more complex Class II cases—especially those involving cusp replacement—often depend less on mat
