Abstract:
Success in using light-cured resin composites relies heavily on proper curing time and intensity. Because these factors are so critical, the authors reviewed the literature to arrive at guidelines for optimal curing conditions. The guidelines emphasize maintenance of the curing lights, consideration of the type of restorative material used and duration of exposure.
