Evaluation of Proximal Contact Tightness in Anterior Resin Composite Restorations: A Comparative In Vitro Study of Injectable, Flowable, and Universal Composites
Universal composites with a putty index provide superior PCT in Class IV restorations compared to injectable and flowable composites with transparent silicone indices. Clinicians using injectable or flowable composites should consider additional adjustments to optimize PCT. Future research should validate the effects of shrinkage and variability on PCT.
