C-factor is more than the ratio of bonded to unbonded surfaces. Understanding C-factor, or Configuration Factor, is essential to understanding how composites behave in a tooth, but this topic was still being researched as manufacturers were trying to bond to dentin. Eventually, c-factor and its role in composite bonding showed the potential for a strong bond to dentin, but overcoming the c-factor stresses was the key element that Dr. David Alleman studied in his search for predictable adhesive dentistry.
