Composite resins are increasingly used in restorations of posterior teeth as well as in restorations of anterior teeth. The fact that mercury-containing restorative materials cause anxiety in patients and the increasing interest in aesthetic restorations cause an increase in the demand for composite resin restorations. The requirement for layered placement of conventional composite resins both prolongs the treatment time and increases the requirement for technical precision. In order to avoid such disadvantages, bulk fill composite resins that allow placement with a single layer of 4-5 mm thickness have been introduced to the market. During the application of light to bulk fill composite resins, the penetration of light into deeper parts is prrovided by increasing the translucency of the material but it’s an important aesthetic problem. This problem is tried to be prevented by making some updates in the material structure. Bulk fill composite resins are divided in two according to their viscosity as high viscosity bulk fill composite resins and flowable bulk fill composite resins. Due to the low mechanical properties of flowable bulk fill composite resins, it is recommended to cover with a conventional composite resin. The aim of this review is to present the current literature information about bulk fill composite resins used in restorative dentistry.
