Conclusion It seems that the use of flowable composite as a fissure sealing material can slightly increase the retention rate of sealants compared with conventional resin-based sealants
Objectives The aim of this systematic review and meta- analysis was to evaluate fissure sealant retention in clinical studies in which investigators used flowable composites as pit and fissure sealants compared with conventional resin-based pit and fissure sealants .
The effect of a new-generation flowable composite resin on microleakage in Class V composite restorations as an intermediate layer
Aim : To evaluate the effect of application a new-generation bulk-fill flowable composite resin as an intermediate material between composite resin and dental substrates on micro-leakage in Class V composite restorations . Material s and Methods : A total of 144 Class V cavities were prepared in 72 human molars . Specimens were then r and omly distributed among three groups according to adhesive system applied ( Group 1 : Clearfil SE Bond ; Group 2 : Adper Easy One ; Group 3 : Adhesive 200 T ) , and each group was divided into three subgroups according to liner material used ( Group A : No liner-control group ; Group B : Aelite Flo LV , low viscosity microhybrid composite ; Group C : Smart dentin replacement ) . All cavities were restored using resin composite ( Aelite LS , low shrinkage posterior composite ) . Specimens were stained with 0.5 % basic fuchsin and evaluated dye penetration . Results : There was no significant difference in dye penetration was found between the control and the experimental groups . Conclusions : Micro-leakage is not affected by the application of either conventional or new-generation flowable composite resin as an intermediate material between composite resin and dental substrates
