Clinical Relevance The preheating of resin composite prior to curing yielded a better degree of conversion but had a negative impact on the induced post-gel shrinkage strain; soft-start mode is recommended, as it reduces the post-gel shrinkage strain without affecting the degree of conversion.

Clinical Relevance Photo-polymerization using second generation LED and halogen light in the soft-start mode of curing was able to produce an adequate degree of conversion in resin composites. The lower degree of conversion produced by low power LED in the soft-start mode could lead to restoration failure, degradation of the organic matrix and recurrent caries.

Clinical Relevance In this study, soft-start photoactivation methods were demonstrated to be able to reduce microleakage with only a discrete reduction in the degree of conversion. This was achieved when this protocol was associated with a 7 mm distance from the light guide, which is common in deep preparations in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the influence of the soft-start curing protocol in the degree of conversion of a nanohybrid composite.METHODS: Ten specimens were prepared from the polymerization of the composite resin Llis using two protocols: conventional (1000 mW/cm² for 20 seconds) or gradual (250 mW/cm² for 20 seconds + 1000 mW/cm² for 15 seconds). Then, analyzes were performed using a spectrophotometer and data were subjected to Two-way ANOVA and Holm-Sidak test. The significance level was 5%.RESULTS: There was no statistical difference between the average resin conversion degree of composite values in the base area and top for both curing protocols (p > 0.05).CONCLUSION: Therefore, the use of soft-start curing protocol did not interfere in the degree of conversion of a nanohybrid composite.

Clinical Relevance Curing methods using lower irradiance levels were shown to be effective in reducing the rate of stress generation without compromising the conversion of the restorative composite. Higher C-factor was shown to enhance the stress rate and amount of stress generated.

Clinical Relevance For reliable repair of amalgam restorations, including dentin fractures, the amalgam surface should first be silica coated; dentin/enamel should be etched, washed and rinsed thoroughly. Then, amalgam should be silanized and primer/bonding should be applied onto dentin.

Clinical Relevance Fiber inserts incorporated at the gingival floor of Class II composite restorations resulted in a significant reduction of microleakage scores as compared to restorations made without inserts. This may lead to a reduced incidence of recurrent caries.
