Journal ArticleDOI
Refractive Index Mismatch and Monomer Reactivity Influence Composite Curing Depth
TL;DR: Optizing filler/resin refractive index mismatch provides increased curing depth and assists shade-matching and transmission changes and cure depths related to monomer reactivity and filler/ Resin refraction index mismatch with significant interaction are hypothesized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cuspal movement and microleakage in premolar teeth restored with a packable composite cured in bulk or in increments.
TL;DR: Bulk curing only appeared to be practical with the high intensity halogen light (40 s activation) and incremental restoration with the plasma arc light had significantly increased gingival microleakage compared with the 'turbo-boosted' halogen curing light.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water uptake and strength characteristics of a nanofilled resin-based composite.
TL;DR: Water uptake and mechanical properties of test materials were influenced by the size and morphology of the reinforcing particulate phase, and strength degradation occurred at different rates between material types.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photoinitiator type and applicability of exposure reciprocity law in filled and unfilled photoactive resins.

TL;DR: Lucirin-TPO is a highly reactive and efficient photoinitiator, which may allow the potential for a reduction in curing time of TPO-based photoactive materials in thin sections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light-Curing Units A Review of What We Need to Know
TL;DR: Assessments and research publications should include the following information about the curing light: radiant power output throughout the exposure cycle and the spectral radiant power as a function of wavelength, and analysis of the light beam profile and spectral emission across the light beams.
