Whether we are placing amalgams or composites I think we need to quit beating ourselves up. I think most of us are honestly doing what we think is best for our patients and we only have a few materials to restore teeth with. Yes, gold is the ideal restorative material, but not all of our patients can afford inlays/onlays on all their restored teeth. What do we do? We place porcelain, amalgams and composites. Any of our patients willing to go back to gold restorations on their anterior teeth? Come on guys we are doing the best we can with what we have.

How valid is a study that uses unset resin to determine response to a composite resin? I don't think any of us would knowingly treat any of our patients in this manner. Lets see results from studies showing cured composites. This is the state in which they are used in the patients mouth! Who puts unset resin in their patient’s mouth?

Concerning the comment on BPA in Composite: To say that it "doesn't matter" if it is safe or not is just not right, and to imply that what really matters is the effect it has on dentistry is even worse.
