      <abstract>
        <p>For direct composite resin restorations, the __doublequotosingstamp technique__doublequotosing aids in achieving accurate occlusal topography. Stamp is an index that mimics the structure of a natural tooth. The cavity is produced after stamp manufacture on an unprepared occlusal surface, and the resulting stamp is then applied to the last composite increment prior to final curing to create a precise duplicate of the pre-operative structure. For patients desiring pre-treatment occlusal anatomy even for posterior teeth, the aesthetic restoration has become standard practice in modern dentistry and offers an appropriate reference for replicating both aesthetic and proper function. In Class I and Class II preparations, where the occlusal surface is undisturbed prior to treatment, the stamp approach is recommended. Light-cure composites, self-cure acrylate resin, polyvinylsiloxane bite registration material, liquid dam material, clear silicon mould, and occlusal transfer devices are some of the materials utilized to make the occlusal mimics. The stamp technique is a quick process that requires less chairside time for polishing and finishing as well as for rebuilding the occlusal morphology. Because the matrix duplicates the occlusal architecture, contouring the restoration does not involve manual labor, specialized tools, or excessive amounts of material. Severely carious teeth cannot be rebuilt with this method, and examination prior to restoration is necessary to guarantee appropriate occlusion.&#13;
