The axial shrinkage of samples that were 1.00 ?mm thick by 9–10?mm diameter was measured using a modified bonded disk method over a time between 15?h and 19?h at temperatures of 26?°C and 34?°C (mouth temperature). The degree of conversion (DC) was collected continuously for 10?min using mid-infrared spectroscopy in the at tenuated tot…
