Bulkfill flowable composite resins – A review
Journal Title: International Journal of Applied Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
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 with minimal stress contraction. Flowable composites, with their low elastic modulus compete with stress development, potentially helping to maintain the marginal seal of the restoration. The flowable composites are readily workable and adaptable to cavity walls and their use can reduce marginal defects in restorations. This review enlighten various aspects of bulkfill flowable composite resin materials.

MRI characteristics of disc displacement of temporomandibular disorders and its correlation with clinical findings in symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects
Objectives: Pain caused by temporomandibular disorders originates from either muscular or articular conditions, or both. Distinguishing the precise source of the pain is a significant diagnostic challenge to clinicians,...
The lone standing abutment: A case report
Pier abutment is characterized by a lone standing abutment with edentulous regions on either side of it. The goal of this case report is to discuss the use of key and keyway, a type of non-rigid connector to rehabilitate...
Current photo-initiators in dental materials
Light induced reactions are based on the absorption of light that excites the electrons of a molecule and can, under favorable circumstances, lead to dissociation, isomerization, abstraction, electron or energy transfer,...
A modified flasking technique for complete denture base processing with sandy acrylic resin
The major breakthrough in the annals of modern dentistry was the adverted of acrylic resins in 1937. Their recognition and acceptance in prosthodontics are indeed incredible as they are found to be easy to manipulate, mo...
Pre-endodontic rehabilitation of badly mutilated teeth with canal projection technique
Broken down molars or perforations are common findings and their comprehensive rehabilitation prior to endodontic therapy is an issue that needs to be addressed. Currently, rubber dam is the Standard of Care for isolatio...
