Depth of cure of resin composites: Is the ISO 4049 method suitable for bulk fill materials?

TLDR
If depth of cure D(ISO) determined by the ISO 4049 method is accurately reflected with bulk fill materials when compared to depth of cures determined by Vickers microhardness profiles is evaluated.

Progress in dimethacrylate-based dental composite technology and curing efficiency

TL;DR: A review of the key factors affecting the polymerization efficiency of light-activated resin-based composites highlights the apparent need for a more informative approach by manufacturers to relay appropriate information in order to optimize material properties of resin composites used in daily practice.

Light transmittance and micro-mechanical properties of bulk fill vs. conventional resin based composites.

TL;DR: The blue light that passes through different incremental thicknesses of bulk fill in comparison to conventional resin-based composites (RBCs) is quantified to relate it to the induced mechanical properties and low-viscosity bulk fill RBCs showed the lowest mechanical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physico-mechanical characteristics of commercially available bulk-fill composites.

TL;DR: A compromise with mechanical properties compared with more conventional commercially-available nano-hybrid materials was demonstrated by the present work, which highlights the critical requirement for a veneering material, not only to improve aesthetic quality of the translucent material, but to reduce the impact of degradation.

Polymerization Shrinkage Stress Kinetics and Related Properties of Bulk-fill Resin Composites

TL;DR: A significant reduction in polymerization shrinkage stress is reported while maintaining comparable curing efficiency at 4 mm for some bulk-fill composites and supports their potential use in posterior clinical situations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Post-cure depth of cure of bulk fill dental resin-composites.

TL;DR: Bulk fill resin composites can be cured to an acceptable post-cure depth, according to the manufacturers' claims, and one-way ANOVA showed statistically significant differences between materials for all parameters tested.

Wear and Marginal Breakdown of Composites with Various Degrees of Cure

TL;DR: This study showed that the resistance to abrasive wear of a dental composite could be improved by enhancement of its degree of conversion.

A Comparison of Four Modes of Evaluating Depth of Cure of Light-activated Composites

TL;DR: Four commonly used methods for evaluating depth of cure in light-activated composites were compared and degree of conversion appears to be the most sensitive test of depth of cures.

Conversion in different depths of ultraviolet and visible light activated composite materials

TL;DR: This investigation has demonstrated that the conversion at different depths and the maximum curing depth are dependent on the composition of the composite filling material, light source, and exposure time.

Correlation of bottom-to-top surface microhardness and conversion ratios for a variety of resin composite compositions.

TL;DR: While KHN cannot be used to directly compare conversion of the different composites tested, the use of B/T ratios for both hardness and conversion resulted in a linear relationship independent of filler size or loading.

Elution study of unreacted Bis-GMA, TEGDMA, UDMA, and Bis-EMA from light-cured dental resins and resin composites using HPLC

TL;DR: In this article, the elution of residual monomers from light-cured dental resins and resin composites into a 75% ethanol:water solution was studied using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).
