Abstract
Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical performance of composite restorations restored by short fiber-reinforced and bulk-fill resin composites in the primary posterior teeth.
Materials and methods: The study was conducted on 100 primary molars in children aged from 6 to 10 years having occlusal caries. Selected 100 primary molars were randomly divided into two groups, group A (EXF) and group B (TNC). Teeth were clinically evaluated using United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria.
Results: Bulk-fill composite showed marginal disintegration compared to short fiber-reinforced composite (SFRC). No significant difference was observed for other parameters evaluated under USPHS criteria at different follow-up periods except for marginal adaptation favoring the SFRC at 3 and 6 months.
Conclusion: This study supports SRFC as a preferable material choice over bulk-fill composite resin, offering valuable guidance to dental professionals in clinical decision-making.
Clinical significance: Incorporation of short glass fibers in Ever X Flow enhances marginal adaptability and minimizes microleakage at restorative margins.

The Journal of Contemporary Dental Practice (JCDP), is a peer-reviewed, open access MEDLINE indexed journal. The journal’s full text is available online at http://www.thejcdp.com. The journal allows free access (open access) to its contents. Articles with clinical relevance will be given preference for publication. The Journal publishes original research papers, review articles, rare and novel case reports, and clinical techniques. Manuscripts are invited from all specialties of dentistry i.e., conservative dentistry and endodontics, dentofacial orthopedics and orthodontics, oral medicine and radiology, oral pathology, oral surgery, orodental diseases, pediatric dentistry, implantology, periodontics, clinical aspects of public health dentistry, and prosthodontics.
