The document describes 7 types of dental composites:
1. Flowable composites are low viscosity and adapt well to cavity walls but shrink more and wear more easily than other composites.
2. Sealants are used to prevent dental caries in pits and fissures and can be flowable or filled composites.
3. Bulk-fill composites can be placed in 4mm increments to reduce placement time but may need covering with another composite for aesthetics.
4. Packable composites are highly filled and shape well but are limited to posterior teeth.
5. Core build-up composites are heavily filled to replace missing tooth structure under crowns.
6. Provisional compos
