Abstract

Curing-dependent color and TP changes indicate that dentists should use cured composite for matching of shade and translucency. Tested materials became less saturated, with microhybrids becoming darker and microfills becoming lighter after polymerization. Light-curing caused an increase in translucency of microhybrids and a reduced translucency in microfills.
