Flowable Resin Composites
In the age of tooth-color restoration, the resin composites have been developed for tooth restorations. The resin composites are classified by sizes of inorganic fillers, opacities or viscosities of matrix. There is an attempt to improve the adaptability of restorative materials by decreasing their viscosity. A new type of resin composites which is call iFlowable resin compositesî has been developed and they are different viscosity and flow ability from conventional resin composites. Nowadays the flowable resin composites have become more widely used to restore defective and carious teeth or use with other restorative materials.
