Bulk Fill Composites

Abstract

Limitation of polymerization depth of composites that are polymerized with light and the requirement to apply them with layers, comes in front of us as an important disadvantage in today’s conditions where it is tried to shorten clinical operating time. This thickness has been determined to be maximum 2 mm by considering penetration depth of light [1]. This situation has caused for processing time at deep cavities to be prolonged and for risk of air bubbles that may occur during the addition of composites to increase. Various producers have produced new type of composites named as bulk fill in order to eliminate this problem [2]. Placement of bulk fill composites as single layer having thickness of 4-5 mm to the cavity regarding deep and wide cavities reduces the period passing at the clinic and it provides significant advantage for dentists [3].
