abstract: Bulk-fill resin composites represent an innovative class of dental composite materials, developed to simplify and expedite the restoration process. They can be adequately photopolymerized up to 45mm composite thickness and therefore permit a more economical restorative approach as compared to conventional resin composites. The current paper summarizes the most important facts on bulk-fill composite materials and provides recommendations for the successful use of these materials in daily practice based on up-to-date in vitro and in vivo research.
