title: Mechanical properties of a composite inlay material following post-curing.
abstract: Compressive strength, fatigue limit, hardness and wear factors were determined for two shades of a composite inlay material both with and without post-cure annealing! The effect of the annealing procedure was to cause a small general improvement in properties. This was more noticeable in the Dentin shade of the material than in the Enamel shade. It is doubtful whether the small improvement in properties would have any significant effect on clinical durability.
