Alternative method of photopolymerization of composite resin specimen for flexural strength test

The flexural resistence is one of the most used test in researchs of mechanical characterization of resin composites for dental restoration. ISO 4049 photopolymerization technique performed static application stages of light tip. To polymerize the entire area of the specimen some areas must receive extra...

The biological effects of different LED wavelengths in the health field. A review

Introduction: the use of light emitting diodes (LED) in domestic and public vias have increased in the last 20 years. In addition, the LED light has been used as a light source for medical applications. Objective: since humans are increasingly exposed to LEDs, there is an urgency to investigate the poss...

Assessment of influence of LED curing units used on microhardness of resin-modified glass ionomer sealants

Braz. j. oral sci; 21 (), 2022
Aim: Resin modified glass ionomer (RMGI) is class of material that can be used as sealant for preventing and arresting the progression of caries in pits and fissures. As these are hybrid materials, their properties can be affected by factors related to the polymerization process. ...

O presente estudo teve por objetivo avaliar a resistência à flexão de um pino experimental de fibra de vidro vazado, e a resistência adesiva entre este pino experimental à dentina radicular, associando a utilização de um dispositivo iluminador em fibra óptica, sob o processo de envelhecimento, al...

Evaluation of irradiance and radiant exposure on the polymerization and mechanical properties of a resin composite

Braz. oral res. (Online); 36 (Jun), 2022
Abstract The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of irradiance and radiant exposure on the chemical-mechanical properties of a resin composite. A micro-hybrid resin composite (Clearfil AP-X, Kuraray) was investigated under two different irradiances: low (300 mW/cm2) and high (800 mW...

Can bulk-fill compromise the curing potential in deep cavities?

Braz. dent. sci; 25 (2), 2022
Objective: To determine the effect of the restorative technique, material’s opacity and the selected light sources on the curing potential (CP) in deep cavities. Material and Methods: The radiant exitance (mW/cm2) of two light curing units (Bluephase G2 and Radii-Cal) was determined at 0...

Como as características dos LEDs de segunda e terceira geração podem influenciar a dureza de compósitos restauradores: uma revisão da literatura

RFO UPF; 26 (2), 2021
Objetivo: Várias fontes de luz têm sido utilizadas desde que os materiais fotoativados foram introduzidos na odontologia. Diodos emissores de luz (LEDs) se popularizaram como a principal opção para a polimerização dos materiais restauradores. O objetivo nessa revisão da literatura foi avaliar a in...

Light transmittance and depth of cure of a bulk fill composite based on the exposure reciprocity law

Braz. dent. j; 32 (1), 2021
Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the exposure reciprocity law of a multi-wave light-emitting diode (LED) on the light transmittance (LT), depth of cure (DOC) and degree of conversion in-depth (DC) of a bulk fill composite. A bulk fill composite (EvoCeram® bulk fill, Ivo...
