The aim of the current study was to evaluate the clinical performance of the novel radio-opaque universal adhesive "Scotchbond™ Universal Adhesive Plus" compared to conventional universal adhesive "Single Bond Universal" over 24 months in cervical carious lesions. Fifty participants with cervical carious lesions were randomly allocated into two groups (n = 25); either Scotchbond™ Universal Plus Adhesive (intervention) or Single Bond™ Universal Adhesive (control). Restorations were assessed at baseline, 12 and 24 months using the modified USPHS criteria.

Background: Self-adhering flowable composite (SAFC) simplified restorative procedures, especially when compared to conventional techniques. Self-adhering composite revolutionized restorative dentistry by merging advances of adhesive and restorative materials to generate the so-called "eighth generation."

Aims: The objective of this clinical trial was to assess the clinical performance of SAFC compared to conventional flowable composite in minimally invasive occlusal cavities.

Background: Self-adhering flowable composite (SAFC) minimized the time-consuming application procedures encountered with the traditional adhesive systems and restorative materials. Self-adhering composite combines the merits of both adhesive and restorative material technologies (8 generation) in a single product, bringing new horizons, and ambitions to restorative procedures.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance of SAFC compared to conventional flowable composite in conservative Class I cavities.

The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate clinical performance of flowable composite in carious and noncarious lesions. An electronic search was conducted using specific databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and LILACS) through March 2017. Clinical trials for restoration of carious and noncarious lesions were included with no date restrictions; follow-up was 6 months at least and dental restorations were evaluated using the United States Public Health Service criteria.
