Clinical Performance and Survival of Bulk-Fill Resin Composite Posterior Restorations in Primary Teeth: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the clinical performance and survival of bulk-fill resin composite restorations in posterior primary teeth, compared with conventional resin composites and glass ionomer cements (GICs). Methods: The protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024539097) and conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. Electronic searches were performed in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane databases up to December 2025. Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) evaluating bulk-fill resin composite restorations in primary molars were included. Restoration survival was considered the primary clinical endpoint. Secondary outcomes included marginal integrity, marginal discoloration, color match, postoperative s
