Effects of post-curing conditions on degree of conversion, microhardness, and stainability of 3D printed permanent resins

The study demonstrated that extending the post-curing time led to improvements in the degree of conversion and microhardness, while simultaneously reducing the stainability of the materials tested. Additionally, the type of post-curing unit used had a significant impact on these results, further highlighting the importance of both curing time and equipment in optimizing material properties.
