In modern dentistry, the term C- factor, or Configuration Factor, has just recently gained popularity. Itsworth is determined by a direct restoration's initial polymerization stress assessment. It's also worth noting that, in today's dentistry, composite materials with excellent aesthetic, physical, and mechanical benefits are the most popular way of treating defects in the hard tissues of the tooth. The concern of shrinkage during the polymerization of the material, as previously mentioned, remains relevant. In cavities with high C-factor values, the impact of polymerization stress is especially noticeable. These difficulties, as well as their impact and solutions, will be discussed in this thesis.
