advantages:
Biocompatible at dentin structures.
-Effect anticariogenic: the release of fluoride.
-Aesthetic: Allows selection of the desired color, using the
color guide.
Photopolymerizable: reducing working time.
be can photocuring and have an acid additional base.
Excellent handling characteristics
Disadvantages :
- Presents Microfiltration , however, this does not
contraindicate their use, because it presents a good
behavior by releasing fluoride.
-Low impact resistance direct masticario.
-Mixing technique demanding for their sensitivity to
moisture in the first minutes.
