Effect of Light Irradiation Condition on Gap Formation Under Polymeric Dental Restoration; OCT study.

CONCLUSION: CP-OCT with a contrast agent is a useful non-invasive imaging tool for dental composite resin materials. QTH showed better results than LED under the experimental conditions. When using an LED light-curing unit, prolonged irradiation improved interfacial adaptation of dental composite bonded with a self-etching adhesive.
