Bulk-fill-composites. Modern application technique of direct composites for posterior teeth

Abstract

Direct composite restorations in the posterior dentition have become an indispensable element of modern dentistry. The performance of these restoration, even in the masticatory load-bearing posterior region, has been conclusively proven in many clinical studies. This procedure is usually carreid out in an elaborate layering technique. This time-consuming procedure requires an economically sensible fee, corresponding to the effort involved. Aside from the possibilies that highly aesthetic composites offer in the application of polychromatic multiple-layer techniques, there is also a great market demand for the most simple and quick and therefore economical composite-based materials for posterior teeth. These products are offered in the category of bulk-fill composite.
