OBJECTIVES: To define the inlay shading effect on the polymerization levels and kinetics of a light activated bonding system for an indirect restoration technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS: For the bonding system, an adhesive: Excite (Ivoclar-vivadent) and a composite: Z250 (3M-ESPE, St Paul Minnesota, USA) were investigated. A Demetron (Kerr USA) light curing unit was used. The composite inlay blocks of 2 mm thick were used for the experiment (Artglass A2 Heraeus, Kulzer, Dormagen, Germany). The bonding composite was photocured using a 2 mm composite inlay block as a shielding system while the adhesive was shielded by a 2.3 mm thick wafer, composed of the inlay material and the previously cured bonding composite. The kinetics and levels of polymerization were measured by a differential scanning calorimeter technique (DSC 25, Mettler, Orange, CA, Toledoh, küsnacht, switzerland). RESULTS: The inlay shielded dental composite reaches a significantly lower level of polymerization compared to the unshielded composite. Inlay shielded composite, has a slower polymerization kinetic compared to unshielded composite. The resin adhesive shielded by the inlay-composite wafer reaches polymerization values not significantly different from those of the unshielded adhesive. SIGNIFICANCES: The degree of cure of the light-cured composite resins for use as a base for indirect composite restorations, may be severely reduced as a result of inlay shielding.
