Abstract
The aim of this study is to perform a comparative evaluation of the flexural properties of various bulk fill composites. Bulk fill composites play a significant role in the restorative field of dentistry. The modern bulk fill composites offer better strength and better performance. These materials reduce the cuspal deflection rate and also have reduced polymerisation shrinkage. This study focuses on comparative evaluation of four bulk filled composites , 3M Filtek Bulk Resin , Tetric N Flow Bulk Resin , EverX Flow Bulk Resin , SDR (Smart Dentin Replacement) Posterior Bulk Fill Flowable Base resin with most widely used Universal Restorative resin 3M Z350XT. The specimens were made with the standardisation technique and were subjected to be tested by the Instron (Universal Testing Machine). The results were analysed statistically and were subjected to One way analysis of variance(ANOVA) (a=0.05). The results revealed that the modern bulk fill composites had similar flexural strength compared to the conventional Universal restorative resin 3M Z350XT. The maximum flexural strength was seen in EverX Flow at a maximal value of 273.17 Mpa for the specimen. These modern materials have great flexural strength and great scope in future.
