Three-year clinical study of UV-cured composite resins in posterior teeth.
Four proprietary composite resins cured with ultraviolet light were inserted into Class I and II cavity preparations. The restorations were evaluated over a 3-year period for color match, interfacial staining, secondary caries, loss of anatomic form, marginal adaptation, and surface texture. The percent of restorations exhibiting no generalized loss of anatomic form ranged from 47% to 93%.
