Effect of High-Irradiance Light Curing on Depth-of-Cure and Pulpal Temperature

Abstract

The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of rapid light curing on depth-of-cure of composite resin and temperature changes in the pulp using curing lights with high irradiance. Materials and Methods: Composite resin was placed in the proximal box of a molar and cured using high-irradiance curing lights (Cybird, Dentazon; S.P.E.C. 3, Coltene; Valo, Ultradent; Flashmax P3,CMS) at their maximum irradiance settings. The composite specimens were tested for hardness at 0.5-mm increments occlusal-gingivally.
