Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of composite resin type and light curing source on the microleakage of composite restorations. The material consisted of 48 Class V cavities prepared on 24 extracted human premolars. The cavities were divided into two groups (n = 24), depending on the applied composite resin (flowable...

Summary The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of different light curing modes on the depth of cure of the composite resin. The metal block with formed round holes served as a mold for the placement of the composite resin. The composite resin was cured with Penguin DB-685 lamp with four optional working modes: strong, low, gradually...
