Abstract

The selection of a curing light is a multifactorial decision. While each method of polymerization presents unique clinical benefits, the optimal light-curing technique remains to be determined. The objective of this study was to check the difference of micro hardness and microleakage according to various light intensity (50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 600 ㎽/$\textrm{cm}^2$) and curing time (10, 20, 40 seconds). A3 color of two composite resin, hybrid type DenFil and submicron type Esthet X were tested.(중략)
