    • Light curing composite -a thermal risk for the pulp? 

      Haukland, Torbjørn (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-05-19)
      Introduction and objectives: Light curing has shown to be a risk for the pulp as well as for superficial tissues due to high temperatures. The aim of this study was to evaluate temperature changes in a low viscosity bulk fill composite and the temperature effect on the pulp chamber temperature during light curing using a LED light curing device (LCU). The null hypothesis stated was that the composite ...
