Light Activated Resin Containing Organic Dyestuff

Visible-light-activated Resin Composites

The relationships between the transmission coefficient and the cure depth were evaluated on eight commercially available light-activated resin composites. The determination of transmission coefficient was carried out by the use of a radiometer for various shades of the resin composites. The transmission coefficient, ranging from 0.042 to 0.263, wasdependent upon the shade of the resin. There wa...

Fluoridated light-activated bonding resin adhesion to enamel and dentin: primary vs. permanent.

PURPOSE This study compared fluoridated bonding resin adhesion to primary enamel (Group 1), primary dentin (Group 2), permanent enamel (Group 3), and permanent dentin (Group 4). METHODS The buccal surfaces of 24 primary molars and 24 premolars were used. The bonding system and resin composite used in this study were Imperva Fluorobond and Lite-Fil IIA (Shofu Inc., Kyoto, Japan). Effects of to...

Hardness of composite resin polymerized with different light-curing units

Introduction: The degree of polymerization depends on the type of light-curing unit. The aim of this study was to compare the hardness of composite resin cured by LED and Halogen light curing units. Methods: In this experimental study, 20 cylindrical samples of Tetric Ceram composite were prepared. Half of them were cured with Ultralume 2 LED and the other half with Astralis 7 Halogen light ...

Evaluation of Light-Activated Provisional Resin Materials for Periodontal Soft Tissue Management

The purpose of this study was to determine mechanical properties using a compressive test with cylinder specimen (h = 6 mm and ϕ = 4 mm) as well as cytotoxicity using elutes from disk specimen (ϕ = 10 mm and h = 2 mm) against human gingival fibroblasts and oral keratinocytes with light-activated provisional resin materials (Revotek LC and Luxatemp Solar) compared to chemically activated counter...
