Superior Balance of Properties of a New Bulk Fill Restorative

Objectives: To compare nine bulk fill restorative products using seven different test methods
Methods: A new 3M nanofilled and bulk fill restorative (FiltekTM Bulk Fill Posterior Restorative, FBFPR) was evaluated along with eight bulk fill restorative products, namely, Alert Condensable (AL), Beautifil Bulk (BB), Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill (TECBF), Hyper Fil (HF), Qixx (QX), Sonic Fill (SF), Sure Fil High Density (SUR), and X-tra Fil (XF). The test methods used were polish retention (PR), bonded disc shrinkage (Watts), flexural strength (FL), cusp deflection stress (ST), ACTA wear (3-body, ACT), radiopacity (RO) and fracture toughness (FT). Individual results were normalized on a 0 to 100 scale, and analyzed using ANOVA.
Results: ANOVA of the normalized mean indicated that FBFPR is significantly higher (better) than all restoratives used in the study based on their overall properties and performance (P value < 0.05)
Conclusions: The nanofilled FBFPR exhibited a significantly better overall performance compared to evaluated peers.
