Effect of Using Light Amplified High Intensity Versus Low Intensity LEDs Curing on the Clinical Behavior and Marginal Sealing Of Direct Compound Posterior Bulk-Fill Resin Composite Restorations: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial |
Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
The use of light-cured resin composite is increasing as a result of growing demand for esthetic restorations. The greatest limitation in the use of resin composite as a posterior restorative material seems to be shrinkage during polymerization which may lead to microleakage. Microleakage is characterized by the invasion of acids, enzymes, ions, bacteria and bacterial products into the margins of the restoration, causing post-operative sensitivity, recurrent caries, inflammation or even pulp necrosis. (Karthick et al. 2011 and Chandurkar et al. 2014).
The impact of the sufficient intensity output of curing lights in ensuring the longevity of restorations and avoiding undesirable clinical outcomes is universally accepted. Light-emitting diode (LED) lights have attracted interest and are becoming increasingly popular among dentists. The early generations of LED lights were not capable of providing adequate output (e.g., 350 mW/ cm2). Newer generation LED lights produce output in excess of 500 mW/cm2. These LED lights provide more consistent outputs than the first-generation units.
Most of the studies on resin composite curing stress the importance of sufficient output intensity of curing lights. Undesirable clinical performance and early failures of composite restorations as a result of inadequate polymerization have been reported. Light-emitting diode (LED) lights have attracted interest and are becoming increasingly popular among dentists in comparison to laser and PAC lights.
The purpose of this trial is answer a clinical question whether the use of light amplified high intensity (LAHI) LED curing for light curing, when compared to low intensity LED curing, improve the marginal seal and clinical behavior of direct compound posterior bulk-fill resin composite restorations?
