Clear aligner attachment accuracy and composite excess using flowable composite resins of varying viscosities

Composite viscosity and attachment shape influence accuracy and excess. High-viscosity resins improve precision but increase excess; low-viscosity resins reduce excess but may compromise accuracy. Both material and attachment design should guide clinical choices in clear aligner treatment.

Abstract

Composite viscosity and attachment shape influence accuracy and excess. High-viscosity resins improve precision but increase excess; low-viscosity resins reduce excess but may compromise accuracy. Both material and attachment design should guide clinical choices in clear aligner treatment.
