The heat risk during hardening of dental glass-ionomer cements using a light-curing

摘要: An use of a polymerization lamp to irradiate chemically hardened glass-ionomer materials may improve their properties and accelerate the setting time. However, an excessive increase in temperature material poses potential risk for dental pulp. Maximum temperatures reported during irradiation selected glass-ionomers have been determined this paper samples sizes similar those used clinical practice. Three filling cavities examined: GC Fuji VIII, Triage Pink, White. The LED Elipar was light-curing process. measurement on outer surface conducted with Thermovision®550 thermal imaging camera. examined significantly differed maximum they reached, as well time required reach these temperatures. A statistically significant positive correlation sample weight observed Pink material.
