Abstract

Significant or not, polymerization shrinkage stress deserves a special chapter when resin composites are discussed. Subject of numerous publications based on in vitro tests and of intensive debates, the real significance of this phenomenon has been challenged by recently published clinical findings. The aim of this chapter is to present the main outcomes of research papers in the field of polymerization shrinkage stress followed by critical analysis of this complex phenomenon, consequences, clinical significance and education.
