Effect of thickness on irradiance loss and temperature rise in indirect restorative materials: an in vitro study
The absorbance and irradiance loss values of indirect restorative materials escalated with greater thickness, particularly in the VSC group. The efficacy of light-polymerized resin cements may be negatively impacted; therefore, it is advisable to prolong the curing duration for thicker materials. Moreover, as the thickness grows, the thermal exposure of the materials diminishes, resulting in a reduced danger to pulp health.
