This is a simple personal reflection on some of the problems and solutions related to the increasing use of composite resin to replace dental amalgam when dental students learn to place restorations at the start of their careers. To the author, much seems common sense. Much is not, or cannot, be backed up by ideal science and some may still be considered outdated to the more progressive practitioner. Unfortunately, prospective, ideally-designed clinical trials may no longer be possible to seek the answers we lack due to ethical, organisational, financial or other constraints. © 2022.
