Abstract

Introduction: During the photopolymerization of the resin, there may be contraction stresses that allow the appearance of microcracks / microfractures, post-operative sensitivity, superficial wear, secondary caries, among others. In order to find the aesthetics and mechanical and biological properties of a long-lived restoration, the composite resins called Bulk-Fill emerged, with the proposal of insertion in a single increment of up to 4 or 5 mm. Objective: To analyze studies that compared Bulk fill resin with a conventional composite resin, in order to obtain information about the characteristics and properties of both materials and which is the best option on the market today. Materials and methods: The literary survey carried out in this literature review was based on the search for scientific articles that were published in a 5-year period (between 2016 and 2021), indexed in the following databases: Medical Publications (PubMed), Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo) and Virtual Health Library (VHL). Results: 20 studies were selected, nine were (45%) systematic reviews, eight (40%) randomized clinical studies and three (15%) in vitro studies. Conclusion: The scientific evidence that emerged from this review shows that the clinical efficacy of bulk-filll resin is similar to conventional resin, regardless of the type of restoration (class I, II or non-carious cervical lesions), the type of restored tooth (primary teeth or permanent), but in relation to adequate and biological parameters and clinical time, a bulk-fill resin is slightly superior. More studies need to be carried out to obtain more information on which material is better today.
