Objective: To evaluate the influence of light emitted from two Polywave®, LED light-curing units (LCU) on in vivo pulp temperature (PT) rise and signs of acute inflammatory response in pulps of human premolar having deep Class V preparations.
Methods: Sixty intact, first premolars from 15 volunteers requiring extraction received infiltrative anesthesia. A sterile thermocouple probe was inserted within the pulp tissue through a minute occlusal pulp exposure in only 45 teeth (n = 9) to continuously monitor PT (°C).
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how different exposure modes of a light curing unit (LCU) affect pulp temperature rise in human premolars with deep Class V preparations.
- Eight premolars were tested, where a small pulp exposure was created, and temperature was continuously monitored during LCU exposure.
- Results showed that while most exposure modes increased pulp temperature to safe levels, only the longest exposure time significantly raised the temperature above the critical threshold associated with potential pulpal damage.
