Influence of filling technique on fracture resistance of giomer-restored MOD-cavities

Clinicians frequently opt for bulk-fill restorative materials due to their efficiency and user-friendliness compared to traditional incremental layering techniques. However, evidence regarding the fracture resistance of giomers placed via different techniques remains limited. Injectable giomers represent a viable alternative, offering superior handling and precise adaptation while maintaining favorable mechanical properties. This study provides critical insights into optimizing placement strategies to balance clinical efficiency and biomechanical performance.
