Endodontic cavities are particularly challenging for bulk fill composites, as most are very deep Class I cavities. This maximizes shrinkage stress potential, indicated by a high C-factor. Studies indicate that when high C-factor cavities are filled in bulk, the choice of the composite is an important element to avoiding adhesive debonding.8 SDR Plus material with SDR technology can deal with high C-factor cavities, leading to a tight coronal seal even for post-endodontic cavities.
