Improper Light Curing of Bulkfill Composite Drives Surface Changes and Increases <i>S. mutans</i> Biofilm Growth as a Pathway for Higher Risk of Recurrent Caries around Restorations

How dentists cure a resin-based material has deleterious effects on the material’s properties and its interaction with surrounding dental tissues. Biofilm accumulation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of carious lesions around dental restorations, with its composition manifesting expressed dy...
