Which statement is correct about flowable composite resins? They are useful as liners in large cavity preparations because they adapt to the preparation better than more viscous materials such as hybrid and packable composites.

What are flowable composites?

Flowable composites are of low viscosity and a modification of small particle-filled and hybrid composites. They have reduced filler load and modified resin monomers which provide a consistency that allows the material to flow readily. They have better adaptability to cavity walls thus preventing microleakge.

Where are flowable resin composites best used?

Flowable composites have an abundance of uses in dental procedures including as liners and bases as well as for temporary crown repair, veneer cementation, pit and fissure sealing, porcelain repair and small core build up, and they are most commonly used in Class III, Class IV and Class V restorations.
