IN VITRO EVALUATION OF SURFACE MICROHARDNESS OF COMPOSITE FILLINGS AFTER POLYMERIZATION IN THE COVERED-SLOT
Keywords:
composite material, microhardness, polymerization depthAbstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the depth of polymerization and surface microhardness of composite filling samples after polymerization in the covered slot.
Analysis of obtained results revealed an increase in depth of polymerization and microhardness in filling samples made from heated composite material.
