Resin-Based Composite and LCU-related Factors Affecting the Degree of Cure. A Literature Review: Part 1. Resin-Based Composites

Resin-Based Composite (RBC) is widely used in Dentistry to restore anterior and posterior teeth. There have been many advances in RBCs development to improve their clinical success rate and overcome the many disadvantages of the first materials. These materials are cured by visible light, and light curing units have also undergone considerable development. Recently, bulk-fill composite materials were introduced to be placed in the cavity in bulk, claiming replacement of the traditional layering technique. In this paper an overview of RBCs, their composition and properties will be presented. [More]
