Clinical evaluation of self-adhering flowable composite versus conventional flowable composite in conservative Class I cavities: Randomized controlled trial

Randomized Clinical Trial of a Self-Adhering Flowable Composite for Class I Restorations: 2-Year Results

Objectives. To compare the clinical performances of a self-adhering resin composite and a conventional flowable composite with a self-etch bonding system on permanent molars. The influence of using rubber dam versus cotton roll isolation was also investigated. Materials and Methods. Patients aged between 6 and 12 years and presenting at least two permanent molars in need of small class I restor...

In-Vitro Evaluation of Microleakage of Class II Cavities Restored with Bulk-Fill Flowable Composite

Background and Aim: Composite placement poses many challenges, especially in the gingival floor with dentinal margins. Microleakage is one of the factors affecting the longevity of dental restorations. We aimed to compare the microleakage of cavities filled with bulk-fill composite at enamel and dentinal margins. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, a total of 102 sound human pre...

Self-study Course Clinical Update: Flowable Composite Resins

Microleakage of Flowable Composite Restorations

Author’s response I totally agree with comments by Pitak-Arnnop et al which emphasizes the importance of clinical relevance (though not statistically significant) and 95% CI confidence interval in today's publication process this change of mindset had evolved over many years of education on research & biostatistics. I must clarify that the present article is highlighting the well-known bias of ...

Radiopacity of flowable resin composite

Aim: The aim of this study was to measure the radiopacity of seven flowable composite resins (FCRs). Methods: The radiopacity values of Tetric EvoFlow®A3 (Ivoclar Vivadent), PermaFlo®A1 (Ultradent), Filtek Supreme XT®A3 (3M ESPE), wave®A3 (SDI), StarFlow®A2 (Danville Materials), els flow®A3op (Saremco Dental AG) and SYNERGY Nano Formula®A2/B2 (Coltène Whaledent) were determined with reference t...
