Once the tooth has been prepared, a desensitizer or liner may be placed if necessary, followed by a cleanser and then a bonding agent, which allows the composite to adhere to the dentin and enamel of the tooth structure. Composite is typically applied in layers, after which it is cured or hardened with the use of an ultraviolet curing light.
