Abstract

The development of bulk-fill restorative materials has greatly impacted dental practice by enabling more efficient and effective restorations. Bulk-fill restoratives are designed to be placed in larger increments than conventional composites without compromising their physical properties. This review will focus on the FDI (Federation Dentaire Internationale) criteria as applied to clinical performance evaluation of three prominent bulk-fill restorative materials: Surefil one, Viscalor and Equiaforte TM HT fil. The FDI criteria provide a standardized assessment of clinical performance across key domains including Esthetics, Functional, and Biological impact. Each material will be evaluated based on these criteria, considering their clinical longevity, ease of application, and suitability for varying patient needs.
