What is flowable used for?

Flowable composites are often utilized as a liner under composite restorations. The purpose is to seal the margin, which helps prevent postoperative sensitivity and secondary caries.

What are flowable composites?

Flowable composite (FC) is a type of tooth-coloured restoration material with a lesser viscosity compared to other types of resin composites. The increasing interest in FC is due to its flow properties whereby it can flow into small cavities, irregularities and defects of the tooth.

What is flowable in dentistry?

Flowable composite is one of many categories of dental composite. “Flowables” are known for their excellent handling properties. They’re also known for increased polymerization shrinkage and reduced mechanical properties as compared to the other composite categories.

What does bulk fill flowable replace?

Bulk-fill flowable composite resins have been clinically used for several years. They are traditionally designed as a dentin replacement (up to 4.0 mm) to reduce the number of increments that would otherwise be required when placing posterior composite resin restorations.

What is preventive resin restoration?

A Preventive Resin Restoration (PRR) is a thin, resin coating applied to the chewing surface of molars, premolars and any deep grooves (called pits and fissures) of teeth. More than 75% of dental decay begins in these deep grooves.

What is bulk fill composite?

Bulk-fill resin composites are light-cured resin composites that can be placed in increments or layers of 4 to 5 mm in depth. These materials have been available to the dental profession for several years now. Their adoption has been slow, but they are gaining popularity, and sales are increasing.

What is bulk flow composite?

Estelite Bulk Fill Flow is a light-cured, flowable bulk fill composite that utilizes spherical filler technology (70% by weight/ 56% by volume) to deliver simpler restorations with superior final results – no additional layers or composites needed up to 4mm.

Is Flowable free?

The open source licence for Flowable is Apache 2.0. This means you can use it in other open source projects or commercial products without paying anyone anything, and no licence purchase is necessary.
