Bulk‐Fill Flowable Composite Resins

Abstract: Recent developed flowable composite resins have been marketed for bulk filling of preparations or replacement of dentin in a single increment. The obvious attraction of these materials-quicker placement of restorations-has rapidly made them very popular despite the limited in vitro data and lack of clinical studies. This Critical Appraisal will review some of the available in vitro literature on the topic and summarize the available knowledge in this new category of restorative materials.

“…Bulk-fill composites reduce the chair-side time and have less risk of air entrapment and moisture contamination. 4 Various bulk-fill materials depending on their composition, viscosity, and flow ability have different physical and mechanical properties. Advances led to the addition of fiber in normal conventional dental composites to enhance their physical and mechanical properties, so that the stress transfer from the matrix to the fiber depends on the fiber length and diameter to resist fracture of restoration.…”

“…For these reasons, the introduction of the bulk-fill composites has aimed to solve the problems faced by incremental placement techniques of the conventional type. The advantage of the so-called "bulk fill" composite material is that it can be placed in a single layer of 4mmthickness as a bulk and cured in one step unlike the incremental fill technique [7,8]. Using this type of composite resin is easier and faster than the incremental type, decreased moisture contamination and air bubbles.…”

“…The advantage of the so-called "bulk fill" composite material is that it can be placed in a 4-mm thickness bulk and cured in one step instead of the current incremental fill technique, without any effect on polymerization shrinkage, cavity adaptation, and decreased moisture contamination. 11,12 Bulk filling composites have higher filler volume percentage, and occasionally a modified initiator system to ensure better curing in depth, as compared with traditional composites, thus ensuring superior physical and mechanical properties to combat higher masticatory forces. 13 It is also reported that the bulk fill resin composites reduce cuspal deflection and promote light transmittance.…”
