Evaluation of Adhering Flowable Composite With and Without Adhesive Vs Flowable in Cervical Lesions

Clinical Evaluation of a Moist Bonding Self-Adhering Flowable Composite With and Without Adhesive System Versus Conventional Flowable Composite in Cervical Caries Lesions: Randomized Clinical Trial

With limited evidence-based information in literature about using self-adhering flowable composite in conservative class V restorations, it was found beneficial to evaluate the newly introduced material using a randomized controlled clinical trial to test the null hypothesis that moist bonding self-adhering flowable composite with and without adhesive system will have the same clinical performance as conventional flowable composite in cervical caries lesions.

flowable composite is considered a gold standard in class V restorations due to its resilient character the prevents its dislodgement in this area. self-adhering flowable composite would simplify the clinical steps and claims to improve the adhesion.
