Flowable composites—advantages and limitations. A systematic review

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Flowable composites are among the most widely used restorative materials in modern dentistry. They are suitable for single application or in combination with conventional composites in various cavity preparations. Due to their high fluidity, they can be successfully applied in microinvasive preparations. High flexibility, ensuring penetration into every irregularity , biocompatibility, increased strength, and flow ability are qualities that make them appropriate, recommended, and mainly used as liners in class II restorations.
