The aim of this review was to help clinicians improve their understanding of the polymerization process for resin-based composites (RBC), the effects of different factors on the process and the way in which, when controlled, the process leads to adequately cured RBC restorations.
Ten factors and their possible effects on RBC polymerization are reviewed and discussed, with some recommendations to improve that process. These factors include RBC shades, their light curing duration, increment thickness, light unit system used, cavity diameter, cavity location, light curing tip distance from the curing RBC surface, substrate through which the light is cured, filler type, and resin/oral cavity temperature.
The results of the review will guide clinicians toward the best means of providing their patients with successfully cured RBC restorations.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 May 2017.
All research outputs
#31,132,026
of 34,335,254 outputs
Outputs from The Saudi Dental Journal
#311
of 373 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#312,128
of 349,014 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The Saudi Dental Journal
#5
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,335,254 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 373 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.0. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 349,014 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
