Spatially Distributed Light Exposure: Impact on Light Transmission through CAD/CAM Resin-Based Composites of Different Thicknesses
Nicoleta Ilie
Abstract:This article reports the variation in incident and transmitted light through four different computer-aided-designed/computer-assisted-manufactured (CAD/CAM) resin-based composites (RBC) of thicknesses up to 4 mm after simulating clinically relevant but non-ideal curing conditions. A violet-blue light curing unit (LCU) was used to simulate 39 different curing conditions for each material and thickness, setting an exposure distance of up to 7 mm in the vertical direction and an additional 13 horizontally varying… Show more
