The polymerization of dental composites is accompanied by significant shrinkage and the production of internal stress. This stress has been implicated as a causative factor for marginal discrepancies seen in composite restorations. This paper provides an overview of the origins of these stresses in polymerizing dental composites, a brief description of the methods for measuring them, a discussion of what little is known of the relationship between contraction stress and outcomes, an identification of the materials and placement factors that affect contraction stress, and a description of several strategies proposed to reduce the stresses. The phenomenon of contraction stress development in dental composite restoratives is highly complex, and despite many investigations, remains as a significant clinical concern.
