Resumo
Objetivo: Selecionar e analisar a literatura recente sobre o uso de resina composta fluída (RF) na odontologia. Métodos: Nesta revisão integrativa, foi construída uma estratégia de busca para a base de dados Pubmed, em outubro de 2025, utilizando os termos indexados flowable resin, flow resin, low viscosty resin e dentistry, com operadores booleanos OR e AND. Foram selecionados documentos dos últimos cinco anos. Resultados: Após a leitura do título, do resumo e/ou do texto completo, foram incluídos 28 estudos, dos quais 75% eram laboratoriais. 32,14% dos estudos investigaram microtração, contração de polimerização, integridade marginal ou resistência à união. A temática menos frequente foi avaliação da estabilidade de cor, com apenas três estudos laboratoriais. O artigo mais antigo foi publicado em 2020 e o mais recente em 2025. Considerações finais: A maioria dos artigos publicados nos últimos cinco anos apresenta desenho laboratorial e aborda temática relacionada às propriedades do material. Apesar do uso clínico estar amplamente difundido, a literatura carece de estudos clínicos que avaliem a longevidade desse material. Assim, pesquisas futuras que busquem preencher lacunas do conhecimento são necessárias para discutir a real indicação da RF.
