Abstract

The aims of this study are (1) to investigate the relation of irradiation mode, polymerization shrinkage and degree of cure of composite resin and(2) it effect on micorleakage of class V restorations. VIP(BISCO Dental Products, Schaumburg, IL, USA) and Optilux 501 (Demetron/Kerr, Danbury, CT, USA) curing lights were used for curing Z-250 composite resin following irradiation mode: VIP 200㎽d, VIP 400㎽, VIP 600㎽, pulse-delay(200㎽ 3sec, 5min wait, 600㎽ 30sec), Optilux R mode.(omitted)
