Figure 7 Depth of Cure (ISO 4049:2000) of Spectrum TPH A4 after a 10sec cure with
various curing units
The above data demonstrate that even for dark shades such as Spectrum
TPH
A4 a depth of
cure of 2mm thickness can be achieved with SmartLite PS after 10sec exposure .
6.2 Barcol hardness
Another method to determine the curing performance of a curing light is to measure the
hardness of the exposed surface and the hardness at a given depth using Barcol hardness.
By curing a 2mm thick sample of the restorative material (Spectrum TPH A2, A4) the
obtained hardness values for the illuminated (top) and the non-illuminated (bottom) side of
the sample, as well as the bottom/top hardness ratio, were measured. The results
demonstrate again that a 2 mm depth of cure can be achieved by using SmartLite PS for
10 seconds (Figure 8, Figure 9).
