Progress in dimethacrylate-based dental composite technology and curing efficiency
Abstract: Objectives: This work aims to review the key factors affecting the polymerization efficiency of light-activated resin-based composites. The different properties and methods used to evaluate polymerization efficiency will also be critically appraised with focus on the developments in dental photopolymer technology and how recent advances have attempted to improve the shortcomings of contemporary resin composites.Methods: Apart from the classical literature on the subject, the review focused in particular on papers published since 2009. The literature research was performed in Scopus with the terms “dental resin OR dimethacrylate”. The list was screened and all papers relevant to the objectives of this work were included.Results: Though new monomer technologies have been develo…

Guest Editorial: Symposium on light sources in dentistry
In the last decade, dental curing light technology has moved from using a quartz–tungsten halogen light source to using powerful light emitting diode light sources. Some currently available curing lights are 20 times more powerful than curing lights on the market 15 years ago, prompting some manufacturers to promote curing times of less than 3s. In the USA alone, more than 130 million resin-based restorations are light cured each year . However, the longevity of many posterior resin-based restorations is often not as good as it could be. According to a report from the National Institutes of Health in the United States and other research publications, posterior resin-based restorations are lasting only 6 years, on average , when they could last 15 years or more .
