Introduction: Blue and blue-violet diode lasers (450 and 405 nm) seem to represent an
interesting approach for several clinical treatments today. The aim of this narrative review is …

Objectives This study investigated effects of the different emittance-mode protocols from
three light curing units (LCUs):(i) a Laser (Monet);(ii) a quad-wave (PinkWave);(iii) a …

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the polymerization kinetics qualitatively and
quantitatively for dual-cure bulk-fill composites in comparison with light-cure bulk-fill and …

Introduction. Reconstruction of endodontically treated tooth (ETT) is one of the greatest
challenges in dentistry. Clinical success of fiber reinforcement composite (FRC) restorations …

Background. The surface microhardness of dental composites greatly affects the durability of
restorations. Objectives. The aim of this study was to compare the surface microhardness of …

Clinical Relevance Irradiance may decrease as the light-emitting diode (LED) is discharged.
Therefore, the LED must be charged carefully to prevent the possibility of influencing the …

Objectives This study investigated the microhardness, flexural strength, and color stability of
bleach-shade resin composites cured with 3 different light-curing units. Materials and …

Objective: To evaluate the influence of alternative photoinitiators present in composite resins
related to yellowing, color stability, photosensitivity, light-curing efficiency, degree of …

A longevidade clínica e o sucesso das restaurações em resina composta estão
relacionados diretamente com o processo de polimerização. Apesar de esses aparelhos …

The concept of using a laser for photopolymerisation of light cured dental materials has
been around for more than 3 decades [1]. During that time there has been a dramatic …
