Conclusion Constic, as a self-etching and self-adhesive flowable com- posite, stands out due to its uncomplicated application with simultaneously high- quality aesthetic results. Since Constic is available in many different shades, a restoration that is individually characterised can be prepared for each tooth. The range in- cludes shades A1, A2, A3, A3.5, B1, as well as opaque-white. Since the working steps of etching, bonding and filling are combined into one step, the dentist is able to have a shortened working time on the one hand and also stress- free work on the other hand. In addition, considerably fewer instruments are re- quired, which improves both the work flow and also the dentist’s concentration on his/ her own work and thus has a positive effect on the final re- sults. Steps such as etching, which represent a certain de- gree of patient risk, are com- bined with filling into one work step and this increases reliability for the dentist. In addition, this ensures that no intermediate step is forgotten. Due to its versatile applica- bility - Constic is suitable for lining and also for small Class I restorations, as well as fis- sure sealing - the size of the inventory improves, while purchasing costs for other systems are minimised at the same time. The radiopacity of the ma- terial also ensures easy iden- tification of the restoration by dentists in the future. Finally, it can be said that Constic enables work to be performed in a more relaxed fashion, while decreasing the amount of work and achieving an aesthetically challenging and functionally high-quality result.
