B. High Viscosity Bulk Fill
B. High Viscosity Bulk Fill
According to viscosity, this classification of bulk fill composites have a higher inorganic filler
content causing them to be more wear resistant and better at handling masticatory load.
Correct Answer:
High viscosity bulk fill – used to fill a all of the cavity and sculpt its occlusal surface as a final
layer without the need of to be covered with a conventional composite.
Rationale:
Low viscosity bulk fill – they display inferior mechanical properties; the surface is less
wear resistance due to lower amount of filler present.
Dual cured bulk fill composite resin – have a lower filler load that would be expected to
make it less wear resistant, yet manufacturers state this material can be used without a
conventional RBC ass a final layer.
