Contemporary dentistry literally cannot be performed without use of resin-based restorative
materials. With the success of bonding resin materials to tooth structures, an even wider …

For improved interstudy reproducibility, reduced risk of premature failures, and ultimately
better patient care, researchers and dentists need to know how to accurately characterize …

Light curing in dentistry has truly revolutionized the practice of this art and science. With the
exception bonding to tooth structure, there is perhaps no single advancement that has …

Aim The aim of this review was to help clinicians improve their understanding of the
polymerization process for resin-based composites (RBC), the effects of different factors on …

The ability to light cure dental resins “on demand” in the mouth has revolutionized modern
dentistry. Consequently the dental light curing unit (LCU) has become an indispensable …

Introduction: This article describes the features that should be considered when describing,
purchasing and using a light-curing unit (LCU). Methods: The International System of Units …

Objectives To evaluate the effect of photoinitiators and reducing agents on cure efficiency
and color stability of resin-based composites using different LED wavelengths. Methods …

Spatial and temporal control is a key advantage for placement and rapid setting of light-
activated resin composites. Conventionally, placement of multiple thin layers (< 2 mm) …

Objective To demonstrate the effect of localized irradiance and spectral distribution
inhomogeneities of one LED-based dental light-curing unit (LCU) on the corresponding …

Objective To measure the localised irradiance and wavelength distributions from dental light
curing units (LCUs) and establish a method to characterise their output. Methods Using a …
