Resumen
Background: This scoping review aims to analyze the impact of rapid high-intensity light-curing on a new bulk-fill resin-based composites (RBCs) designed for this type of polymerization.
Material and Methods: This scoping review was reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) and Joanna Briggs Institute Manual of Evidence Synthesis. The methods were registered on the Open Science Framework (). The literature search was conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus and Cochrane Library databases.
Eligibility was considered for in vitro and clinical studies evaluating the effects of ultra-fast high-intensity light-curing on a new system of bulk-fill RBCs.
Results: Of 1.688 articles identified, 27 were included in the qualitative synthesis. All studies were conducted in vitro. A total of 2.432 specimens were evaluated. The studies have shown that shortness light-curing may result in similar properties (stress generated by polymerization shrinkage, marginal integrity, and bond strength to dental interface) for the new bulk-fill RBCs.
Conclusions: Therefore, the new bulk-fill RBCs can be light-cured with a short exposure time and high intensity, providing a time-saving benefit in clinical practice, with similar results to standard light-curing in conventional composites, although, its use should be approached with caution in the flowable composite.
