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 …

Purposes:(1) To conduct a comprehensive review of the literature on factors influencing the
radiant exposure of resin-based composite (RBC) restorations and (2) To fully understand …

Purpose: To investigate the effect of different light exposure times, shades, and thicknesses
on the depth of cure (DOC) of bulk fill composites. Methods and Materials: Two bulk fill …

Background The authors conducted a study to examine the irradiance from light-curing units
(LCUs) used in dental offices in Jordan. Methods Two of the authors visited 295 private …

Objectives. Light curing is crucial when applying composite resin restorations. Complete
polymerization of the resin depends on delivering adequate light energy to it. Dental …

We evaluated the curing efficiency of 4 high-intensity light-emitting diode (LED) devices by
assessing percentage of residual C= C (% RDB), surface microhardness (SM), depth of cure …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the microhardness of five different resin
composites at different irradiation distances (2 mm and 9 mm) by using three light curing …

As discussed in Part I, the type of curing light and curing mode impact the polymerization
kinetics of resin-based composite (RBC) materials. Major changes in light-curing units and …

Materials and methods Two resin composites, selected in accordance with their type of filler
particles, were tested: a microhybrid (Charisma, Heraeus Kulzer) and a nanofilled composite …

(1) Background: This study evaluates the effect of a conventional/low-voltage light-curing
protocol (LV protocol)(10 s with 1340 mW/cm2) and high-voltage light-curing protocol (HV …
