Surface microhardness and depth of cure in bulk fill resin composites with and without preheating: An in vitro study
Preheating significantly increased the surface microhardness in Aura Bulk Fill and Filtek One Bulk Fill resin, while it caused the opposite effect in Opus Bulk Fill resin. In addition, preheating did not increase the depth of cure of each Bulk Fill resin evaluated. Finally, with and without preheating, Filtek One Bulk Fill resin presented higher surface microhardness and depth of cure than Aura Bulk Fill and Opus Bulk Fill resins. <b>Key words:</b>Preheating, bulk-fill composite resin, depth of cure, microhardness.
