Benefits of Using Heated Composite

In this video, I replaced the sides of the MOD mold with microscope slides to see what happens when you fill a cavity with composite. Note what happens as the dental instrument tries to push it in.
The benefits of using heated composite are clear. Also bulk-fill composites should be incrementally placed, but then they can be bulk-cured.

It would seem that using flowable in the bottom of the box would address the flow and void issues, like in a PVS imression. Also using a big increament in the initial example and then using the unidose tip in the warmed example is not exactly apples to apples.

Agreed. But It is not my idea: Seewww.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12540112
Some call it the snow-plow technique

Thank you master

[@TibaElyadak]

Thank you,
Can we use boiled water to warm up the composite?

[@CuringLights]

No way!

[@anas-shommakhi]

Just one question , if I heated the composite , will there be a pulp inflammation due to heat or not ????

[@mohammedmahdialshammari7006]

Its gonna be warm enough to flow better but not that hot that it would cause a pulpal reaction
