Abstract: 

Introduction: In an effort to overcome many of the downsides associated with an incremental approach of to placing resins, new restorative materials have been marketed as “Bulk-Fill” composites. Bulk-fill composites are resin-based, tooth-colored restorative materials that incorporate increased polymerization depth, decreased polymerization shrinkage stresses, and cuspal deflection rates. They can be inserted into prepared cavities in layers that are up to 4 or 5 mm thick. The main aim of this review is to assess Clinical Durability of Bulk Fill Composite material used in Restorative Dentistry. Method: Electronic search of PubMed, Google Scholar, Institutional Library, CTRI, Ind Med, Google and manual search using DPU college library resources and E-mail to authors revealing information about Clinical Durability of Bulk Fill Composite material used in Restorative Dentistry. All cross reference lists of the selected studies were screened for additional papers that could meet the eligibility criteria of the study. Result: Total of 37 articles were searched out of which 19 articles were selected after reading title and abstract. As a second step, full text papers were obtained. However studies in which different bulk fill composite materials durability was tested were selected. Finally a total of 19 articles were included out of which 12 articles were excluded on basis of insufficient data and 7 articles were selected for final synthesis. Conclusion: Bulk fill composite material of 4mm increments showed a good clinical durability
