PD is a shorthand term that may appear in some dental notes to refer to a tooth-colored, resin-based restorative material used for direct repairs. In this article, PD refers to a light-cured resin composite placed directly onto a tooth to restore or seal small areas. PD is commonly used in routine restorative dentistry for small fillings, repairs, and as an adaptation layer under other composites. The exact meaning of PD can vary by clinic, charting system, and manufacturer terminology.
