Emerging technologies for the evaluation of spatio-temporal polymerisation changes in flowable vs. sculptable dental resin-based composites
The findings of this study have practical implications for the selection and use of dental composites. Flowable composites, despite their higher degrees of conversion and polymerisation rates, also exhibit higher volumetric shrinkage, which can be detrimental for clinical applications. The new measurement methods used in this study provide a comprehensive overview of the polymerisation behaviour of commercially available dental composites, offering valuable insights for material optimisation.
