Effect of duration and infection control barriers of light curing unit on hardness of Bulk Fill composite resin

Background This study aimed to investigate the impact of the duration of light curing unit (LCU) usage and the use of infection control barriers on the hardness of Bulk Fill composite resin after curing. The hypotheses were that extended usage of the LCU would not reduces its output power and resin...
