The ability to light cure dental resins “on demand” in the mouth has revolutionized modern
dentistry. Consequently the dental light curing unit (LCU) has become an indispensable …

Aim The aim of this review was to help clinicians improve their understanding of the
polymerization process for resin-based composites (RBC), the effects of different factors on …

Objective The objective of this work, commissioned by the Academy of Dental Materials, was
to review and critically appraise test methods to characterize properties related to critical …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of high-irradiance light-
curing-units (LCUs) on the depth-of-cure (DoC) and degree-of-polymerization (DoP) of bulk …

Objective To determine the potential effect of four different light curing units (LCUs) on the
curing profile of two bulk fill resin-based composites (RBCs). Methods Four LCUs …

Rapid high-intensity light-curing of dental resin composites is attractive from a clinical
standpoint due to the prospect of time-savings. This study compared the effect of high …

Objectives: This study examined the influence of different light-curing units (LCUs) and
exposure times on the microhardness across bulk-fill resin-based composite (RBC) …

Objective Determine the degree of conversion (DC) and in vitro pulpal temperature (PT) rise
of low-viscosity (LV) and high-viscosity (HV) conventional resin-based composites (RBC) …

Objectives To compare the effect of high-intensity (3 s with 3440 mW/cm 2) and conventional
(10 s with 1340 mW/cm 2) light-curing on shrinkage properties and degree of conversion of …

Objective To determine the degree of conversion (DC) of different type of resin-based
composites (RBC) in eight-millimeter-deep clinically relevant molds, and investigate the …
