Effect of diode-pumped solid state laser on polymerization shrinkage and color change in composite resins
A diode-pumped solid state (DPSS) laser emitting at 473 nm was used to test its influence on the degree of polymerization of composite resins. Eight composite resins were chosen and light cured with three diff...
