Summary Polymerization contraction of composite resins has been one of the most extensively studied phenomena in dentistry in recent years. Initial polymerization by low intensity light followed by polymerization high intensity light improves marginal adaptation of composite in tooth cavities. A number of studies have verified that less marginal le...
