Researchers from Okan University in Istanbul, Turkey conducted a study to compare the microhardness and intrapulpal temperature changes of different dental materials when exposed to different polymerization times. The study used 60 human molar teeth and divided them into six groups, each restored with a different material and cured for a specific time. The results showed that a 40-second polymerization time positively affected the microhardness of a bioactive restorative material without causing an increase in intrapulpal temperature. However, a 90-second polymerization time for glass carbomer resulted in high microhardness values but also caused a temperature increase that could potentially damage the pulp.
