Polymerization shrinkage of a composite in a high configuration-factor (C-factor) cavity leads to polymerization shrinkage stress. In the prevention of high polymerization shrinkage stress, a low-shrinking silorane composite (Filtek Silorane, FS, 3M ESPE) was recently marketed. Therefore, we investigated the effect of C-factor (flat surface vs. class-I cavity) and different composite application protocols on the bonding effectiveness of a low-shrinking composite to human dentin.
