Dental Implant Glossary Composite The material traditionally used for bonded restorations.  Made from an admixture of various                  glass particles in a polymerized gel-like matrix.  This material is generally applied to etched                   enamel  and primed dentin.  It is then polymerized with a curing light, a visible blue light which                   activates a catalyst in the composite and causes it to harden almost instantly.  Today's composite                   bonding materials are extremely esthetic because of the way the glass particles reflect and refract                   light similarly to natural enamel.
