Brief Summary  
Implications of the study:
Bulk filling composites are definitely a boon to restorative dentistry, specially the pediatric dentistry as they save a lot of chairside time, thereby enhancing the quality treatment time for both patient and the clinician. However, bulk fill composites are relatively novel and performance of the same under clinical conditions is unknown. If through this In vivo follow up study, if bulk fill composites prove to be equally or more efficacious than the incrementally filled composites, we may opt for bulk fill composites in most of the clinical scenario.
