What are the advantages of using a flowable composite in the base of a Class II composite restoration?

Because of their low viscosity, flowable composites can be easily injected and thereby wet the surface of the cavity preparation more fully than restorative composites. Flowable composites create a more intimate adaptation between the tooth and the restorative composite and provide a good seal that can help reduce post-operative sensitivity. Use a thickness of 1 mm or less. THE DENTAL ADVISOR recommends the use of a radiopaque flowable composite [Tetric Evoflow (Ivoclar Vivadent)].
