Abstract

The degree of polymerization, determined by surface hardness, has been related to the gingival marginal adaptation of posterior composite resin restorations. Poor marginal adaptation results from marginal leakage and failure of the restoration. This study compared the degree of polymerization, measured by microhardness, of a microfilled composite resin placed by use of different matrices. The effect on polymerization with the curing light in two positions was also evaluated.
