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.

a. Low viscosity bulk fill

b. High viscosity bulk fill
c. Dual cured bulk fill composite resin
d. None of the Above

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.
