Article Synopsis
- The study examined how the depth of dental restorations affects the curing times of different composite resins by measuring their hardness and light exposure.
- Three types of composites were tested: Surefil SDR Flow-U, Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill-IVA, and Esthet-X HD-B1, using various thicknesses ranging from 1 to 5 mm and a specific curing light for set intervals.
- Results indicate that each composite achieves optimal hardness at specific light exposure levels, supporting the manufacturers' recommended curing times and suggesting that hardness and light measurement can predict adequate curing for different restoration depths.
