Abstract

Flowable resin composite is a relatively new restorative material. It has been reported that a low viscosity, low modulus intermediate resin applied between the bonding agent and restorative resin act as an "elastic buffer" that can relieve contraction stress. This in-vitro study aimed to evaluate the effect of flowable composite resin as a restorative material on regional tensile bond stredgth to cervical wedge shaped cavity walls. (omitted)
