Overview

Randomized trial assesses mechanical properties of high-strength flowable composites, suggesting potential alternatives to conventional options.

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of new high-strength flowable composites compared to conventional composites.
  • Tested four high-strength flowable composites and one nanohybrid conventional composite.
  • Samples underwent flexural strength, surface roughness, and hardness tests after thermocycling.
  • Conducted microleakage testing on standardized class V cavities filled with composites.
  • Gaenial Universal FLO showed significantly higher flexural strength compared to other flowables.
  • All flowable composites had lower elastic modulus and surface hardness than the control (p < 0.05).
  • Microleakage scores were lowest for Gaenial Universal FLO, while control group had higher scores (p < 0.05).
