Abstract:ObjectiveTo measure degree of conversion (DC) of a flowable composite, microtensile bond strength (MTBS) to dentine in the snow‐plow technique with/without preheating and temperature in the preheated composite.Materials and MethodsFor DC, snow‐plow specimens of Filtek Ultimate Flowable (Flow) and Filtek Bulk Fill (Bulk) (3M) were prepared by light‐curing composites simultaneously in standardized molds while in control groups light‐curing was separate. DC of Flow was measured using micro‐Raman spectroscopy. For… Show more
