Latest Innovations With Flowable Composites

چکیده
Light-cured flowable composites were introduced to the dental profession in 1995 with Revolution. The original manufacturer (E & D Dental Products) recommended that it could be used for Class III, IV, and V restorations, porcelain veneer cementation, porcelain and marginal defect repairs, sealants, and core buildups. Amazingly, one of the most popular contemporary uses of flowable composites, namely as the first increment at the bottom of the proximal box of a Class II preparation, was not even mentioned as an indication for Revolution.

SEM and microleakage evaluation of 3 flowable composites as sealants without using bonding agents.
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine if flowable composites can be used as pit and fissure sealants without bonding agents. METHODS Three flowable composites (Filtek Flow, Tetric Flow, Charmfil Flow) and a filled sealant (Ultraseal XT Plus) were used. The patterns of resin tag formation in the 4 sealant materials were compared using scanning electron microscopy. For the microleakage...
متن کاملComparing the Microleakage of Bulk-Fill (flowable, packable) Composite Restorations and Conventional Light-cured Composites
Introduction and aim: Bulk Fill composites have increased polymerization depth and their contraction stress, and cuspal deflection are reduced in comparison with conventional composites. Therefore, it is claimed that their microleakage is reduced. The aim of this study was to compare microleakage of (flowable and packable) Bulk Fill and conventional resin composites. Materials and Methods: Thi...
متن کاملBulkfill flowable composite resins – A review
Flowable composite resins are widely used in clinical practice. Bulk Fill flowable resins with improved mechanical and chemical characteristics have recently been introduced. These composites are low-viscosity materials with the reduced percentage of inorganic filler particles and higher amount of resinous components. Consequently, the polymerization process leads to volumetric contraction, but...
متن کاملReinforcement of flowable dental composites with titanium dioxide nanotubes.
OBJECTIVES Flowable dental composites are used as restorative materials due to their excellent esthetics and rheology. However, they suffer from inferior mechanical properties compared to conventional composites. The aim of this study was to reinforce a flowable dental composite with TiO2 nanotubes (n-TiO2) and to assess the effect of n-TiO2 surface modifications on the mechanical properties of...
متن کاملGingival microleakage in class II composite restorations using different flowable composites as liner: an in vitro evaluation
Introduction: One of the main disadvantages of composites is marginal microleakage using flowable composites as a liner beneath composite restorations has been recommended to reduce microleakage. The aim of this study was to assess the microleakage of class II restorations with different flowable composites liners. Materials & Methods :45 extracted premolars teeth with class II cavity prepar...
