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.
