The influence of salivary contamination during light curing on degree of conversion and color stability of two composite resins
Saliva exposure early in light curing markedly reduces polymerization efficiency, although extended curing and post-cure polymerization can partially restore DC. Short-term color stability appears unaffected. Strict field isolation and optimized curing protocols are essential to maximize clinical performance.
