چکیده
Metodologia: discos com resina Transbond XT foram fotoativados por 10, 20 e 30 segundos com QTH (Curing light XL 3000) ou com PAC (Apollo 95E) por 1, 2 e 3 segundos. A resina composta foi analisada por meio de espectrofotometria infravermelha (FTIR) e pelo teste de dureza Knoop (KHN). A temperatura na ponta dos aparelhos foi também avaliada. Os resultados foram analisados usando ANOVA e Tuckey test (α=0.05).

متن کاملEffect of inhomogeneity of light from light curing units on the surface hardness of composite resin.
This study investigated the characteristics of output light from different types of light curing units, and their effects on polymerization of light-activated composite resin. Three quartz-tungsten-halogen lamps, one plasma arc lamp, and one LED light curing unit were used. Intensity distribution of light emitted from the light guide tip was measured at 1.0-mm intervals across the guide tip. Di...
متن کاملInfluence of the Curing Method on the Postpolymerization Shrinkage Stress of a Composite Resin
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different curing methods on the stress generated by the polymerization shrinkage of a restorative composite in two moments: immediately after light exposure and after 5 min. Photoactivation was performed using two different light sources: (1) xenon plasma arc (PAC) light (1,500 mW/cm2 - 3s) and (2) a quartz-tungsten-halogen (QTH) light with th...
