Material-Dependent Microhardness Response to Preheating in Nanoparticulate Composite Resins Cured with High-Intensity Light

Background/Objectives: Composite resins are widely used in restorative dentistry due to their aesthetic properties and ease of handling. Preheating prior to light polymerization has been proposed to improve flowability, degree of conversion, and mechanical properties. This in vitro study aimed to ev...
