Time-temperature profiles of post-cure composite ovens.
Previous research indicates that there are improved physical properties resulting from post-cure heating of light-activated resin composite. Currently, a large variety of commercial devices and techniques are used for post-cure heating. This study determined differences among the time-temperature profiles of selected commercial post-cure devices. It also compared the biaxial flexure strength of resin composite which was post-cure heated in each device.
