Effect of light intensity and irradiation time on the polymerization process of a dental composite resin

Effect of light intensity and irradiation time on the polymerization process of a dental composite resin

Polymerization shrinkage is a critical factor affecting the longevity and acceptability of dental composite resins. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of light intensity and irradiation time on the polymerization process of a photo cured dental composite resin by measuring the Vickers h...
