Effect of High-Irradiance Light-Curing on Micromechanical Properties of Resin Cements

Figure 2

Indentation modulus () of the four resin-based materials at 15 min and 1 week (wk) following light-curing according to one of seven irradiation protocols (SM: Standard mode; HPM: High Power mode; XPM: Xtra Power mode). Within each resin-based material, lowercase letters show the results of comparisons between the seven irradiation protocols at 15 min while uppercase letters show the results of comparisons between the seven irradiation protocols at 1 wk.
