title: Depth of cure of radiation-activated materials--effect of mould material and cavity size.
abstract: A method for determining depth of cure of radiation-activated restorative materials has been developed. The effect of mould material and cavity size on depth of cure was determined using a digital penetrometer method. Values were obtained for three selected shades of three dentine products and, in addition, the same three shades of an enamel variant were assessed. All these values were obtained using a 4 mm diameter x 6 mm deep stainless steel mould.
