Transiting milestones in conventional composites: A headway for flowables

Flowable composite materials still need to be explored. Most literature generally addresses conventional composites, with little emphasis on flowables. This review article provides a concise overview of many essential characteristics of this helpful material. Newer generations of flowable composites incorporating improved mechanical properties such as higher compressive strength due to increased filler loading have come into practice in restorative dentistry recently. These provide benefits of improved handling properties and ease of placement into prepared cavities. This makes them unique and a novel material of choice in replacing traditional composite resins as a restorative material in endodontics.
