Abstract:Background: This study evaluated the effect of repeated preheating cycles of matrix-modifying bulk fill resin composites on the postgel polymerization shrinkage strain.
Methods: Forty resin composite specimens were prepared using a Teflon mold (7 mm length x 4 mm width x 2 mm height). Each specimen was linked to a strain gauge and strain monitoring equipment (Strain-Meter PCD-300A Kyowa-Electronic Instruments Co, LTD, Tokyo, Japan) for measuring the postgel polymerizationshrinkage strain (um/m) of the resin … Show more
