Clinical Relevance The ability of modern light curing units to photocure luting resin through ceramic restorations is dependent on the type of light source, ceramic thickness and use of a self-curing catalyst.

Clinical Relevance Polymerization of dual resin cements is significantly more affected by thickness of feldspathic ceramic restorations than by shade.

Clinical Relevance Among the factors that significantly influence the depth of cure of resin composite restorations—the distance between the tip of the light source and the restorative material—as well as the geometry of the tip, are crucial parameters. Increasing the ratio between the entry and exit diameter of the tip will result in an improvement in the depth of cure for lower distances between the tip of the light source and the restorative material, while decreasing the ratio of the depth of cure, which will be higher for greater distances.

Clinical Relevance Resin cements are generally considered as the material of choice in cementation of all-ceramic restorations. The decision between light- and dual-cure resin cement may depend on the properties of the ceramic restoration as well as the location of the tooth. The ceramic thickness has a more intense effect on polymerization than ceramic shade.

Clinical Relevance The thickness of the residual dentin is a critical factor in the reducing thermal transfer to pulp, and this transfer varies with the curing unit used.

SUMMARY This study investigated the effects of irradiance and exposure duration on dual-cured resin cements irradiated through ceramic restorative materials. A single light-curing unit was calibrated to three different irradiances (500, 1000, and 1500 mW/cm2) and irradiated to three different attenuating materials (transparent acryl, lithium disilicate, zirconia) with 1-mm thicknesses for 20 or 60 seconds. The changes in irradiance and temperature were measured with a radiometer (or digital thermometer) under the attenuating materials. The degree of conversion (DC) of dual-cure resin cement after irradiation at different irradiances and exposure durations was measured with Fourier transform near infrared spectroscopy. Two-way analysis of variance revealed that irradiance (p<0.001) and exposure duration (p<0.001) significantly affected temperature and DC. All groups showed higher DCs with increased exposure times (p<0.05), but there were no statistically significant differences between the groups irradiated with 1000 mW/cm2 and 1500 mW/cm2 (p>0.05). Higher-intensity irradiances yielded higher temperatures (p<0.05), but exposure time did not affect temperature when materials were irradiated at 500 mW/cm2 (p>0.05).

The aim of this study was to assess polymerization ability of three light-curing units by evaluating the influence of the light source, curing regimen and permeant (water or ethanol) on sorption, solubility and amount of residual monomers of a dental adhesive. Specimens of Adper Single Bond 2 were fabricated using a stainless steel circular matrix (8 mm x 1 mm). One quartz-tungsten-halogen (QTH) lamp and two light-emitting diode (LED) device at three different curing regimes (L1 = 12 J; L2 = 24 J; L3 = 24 J) were used to cure the specimens. Specimens were stored in two types of permeants - deionized water or 75% ethanol - for two storage times (G1 =7 days; G2 = 30 days). The specimens underwent water sorption and solubility tests, according to ISO 4049:2000 standard. After storage, residual monomers were identified and quantified by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). For sorption, L1 showed the highest values and QTH, the lowest. For solubility, in ethanol-stored groups, L1 had also the highest values, and QTH, the lowest, and findings were significantly different from the other curing regimens. L1 leached significantly more monomers than the others, and QTH had the lowest results. In conclusion, the type of light source, the curing regimen and the permeant affected sorption, solubility and amount of residual monomers of the adhesive under study.

Clinical Relevance Light curing of resin composites in high C-factor cavity preparations using a high irradiance energy application sequence may lead to decreased bond strength. However, the high irradiance energy application sequence did not result in lower bond strengths in lower C-factor cavity preparations.

Clinical Relevance The marginal fit of all-ceramic restorations has an important influence on the clinical performance and lifetime of adhesively luted restorations. In proximal boxes, an average marginal gap of less than 100 μm is claimed. These clinical requirements are fulfilled by both processing procedures.

Clinical Relevance Ceramic restorations often require intraoral adjustment and the use of a polishing kit is mandatory to re-establish surface smoothness. When the ceramic surface was ground and polished, the 3 types of ceramic restorations reacted differently to each tested polishing kit. Some of the polished surfaces obtained were at least equivalent to glaze-fired ceramic surfaces.
