Composite

Composite is a term used in various fields of medicine to describe a material or structure made up of different components. In dentistry, for example, composite resins are used for fillings, while in surgery, a composite graft may be used to replace damaged tissue.

Dentistry

In dentistry, a composite or composite resin is a tooth-colored blend of plastic and glass used to restore decayed teeth. Composites are also used for cosmetic improvements of the smile by changing the color of the teeth or reshaping disfigured teeth.

Surgery

In surgery, a composite graft is a graft composed of multiple tissues, such as skin and cartilage, used to replace damaged or missing tissue. Composite grafts are often used in reconstructive surgeries, such as those performed after cancer removal or trauma.

Materials Science

In materials science, a composite material is a material made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties that, when combined, produce a material with characteristics different from the individual components.
