Objective: This study evaluated the degree of conversion (DC), polymerization kinetics, and temperature of a new self-cure bulk-fill resin-based composite (Stela Automix, SDI).

Methods: The study was divided into seven groups: (1) Stela Primer, (2) Stela Automix, (3) Stela Automix exposed to light for 20 s after 100 s, (4) Stela Primer with Stela Automix, (5) Stela Primer with Stela Automix and exposed to light for 20 s after 100 s, (6) Scotchbond Universal with Stela Automix, and (7) Scotchbond Universal with Stela Automix and exposed to light for 20 s after 100 s. The real-time reaction rates and DC at the bottom of 2 mm thick specimens at ∼32 °C were measured at 720 s after insertion using a spectrometer with an Attenuated Total Reflectance detector.

Objective: This study was designed to show that the commonly reported irradiance values that are quoted in most publications inadequately describe the light output from light curing units (LCUs).

Methods: The total spectral radiant power (mW) output from 12 contemporary LCUs was measured with a fiberoptic spectroradiometer and a calibrated integrating sphere. Five recordings were taken for each LCU and exposure mode.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study measured the temperature changes in the pulp chamber of extracted human molars during different photoactivation techniques for curing resin-based composites in cavities, using a T-type thermocouple to monitor real-time temperatures.
  • - Two types of bulk-fill composites were tested with various curing durations and methods, all delivering the same energy exposure, while their hardness was assessed after sectioning the cured materials.
  • - Results showed that while one composite had higher temperature increases than the other during some methods, all techniques kept temperature rises below 5.5 °C, indicating they are safe for dental use due to acceptable hardness ratios.

Objective: To evaluate the in vitro pulpal temperature rise (ΔT) within the pulp chamber when low- and high-viscosity bulk-fill resin composites are photo-cured using laser or contemporary light curing units (LCUs).

Materials And Methods: The light output from five LCUs was measured. Non-retentive Class I and V cavities were prepared in one upper molar.
