Advantages and drawbacks of flowable composite materials

Advantages	Drawbacks
High wet ability of the tooth surface, ensuring penetration into every irregularity; Ability to form layers of minimum thickness, so improving or eliminating air inclusion or entrapment High flexibility, so less likely to be displaced in stress concentration areas (cervical wear processes and cavitated dentine areas); Radio-opaqueness Availability in different colours.	High curing shrinkage: due to lower filler load, and Weaker mechanical properties
