This article describes various clinical techniques of direct posterior composite restoration to compensate for the polymerisation shrinkage stress and at the same time to create biomimetic (Life-like) restorations. Selection of the technique depends upon the amount of intact tooth structure, extent and depth of the caries. If caries was limited to pit and fissures only then horizontal or oblique layering technique can be used and if occlusal anatomy was intact the tooth can be restored by using occlusal stamp technique. Use of appropriate techniques of restoration govern the success of direct composite restoration and can improve the durability of the restoration.
