Effect of high-intensity curing lights on the polymerization of bulk-fill composites

Dentistry has witnessed significant innovation of resin-based restorative materials in the last three decades. The success of this ongoing evolution appears to have been promulgated from new treatment strategies based on scientific evidences and practical constraints imposed by our clinical practices, patient demands, and empirical research. Especially for restorative dentistry, a paradigm shift toward light cured materials and away from amalgams is driven partially by the post-handling of mercury and its environmental concerns, partly by the gradual clinical success of RBCs, and by the increasing patient demand for esthetics.
