ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to evaluate shear bond strength (SBS) of bulk-fill resin composites (RCs) to dentin and their micro-leakage. One high-viscosity bulk-fill RC and 2 low-viscosity bulk-fill RCs were compared with 1 conventional RC. 7thgenerationbondingagentswereused. In order to evaluate SBS values, 40 permanent molars were selected and divided into 4 groups. The bulk-fill RCs were applied in 4 mm thickness, whereas the conventional RC was applied in 2 mm thickness. In order to evaluate micro-leakage, class I cavities (5 × 2 × 4 mm) were prepared in 32 permanent molars. The teeth were divided into 4 groups and restored with resin composites in an increment of 4 mm for the bulkfill RC and in 2 horizontal increments of 2 mm for the conventional RC. The mean SBS value of conventional RC showed no statistically significant difference when compared with those of low-viscosity bulk-fill RCs. However, the mean SBS value of high-viscosity bulk-fill RC was significantly lower than that of conventional RC (p < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in micro-leakage between the 4 groups. For SBS and micro-leakage, the use of low-viscosity bulk-fill RCs might help clinicians simplify the procedure.
