For many clinicians, flowable composites are seen as a useful liner or base material below stronger, packable composites or indirect restorations, or as a temporisation material. A common misconception is that their use is limited, owing to poor mechanical properties. Several latest-generation flowable composites have mechanical properties that are on par with those of many packable alternatives, particularly CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES Flow Universal (Kuraray Noritake Dental).
