Photocure attachment lens: its effect on polymerization of visible-light-cure resin composite.
The attachment lens for a light-curing unit which disperses light over a larger area was investigated. The effect of polymerization on a composite material was compared with that obtained with a regular light-cured tip. It was found that for similar exposure times, the efficiency of curing was significantly reduced when this lens was used.
