The aim of this review was to help clinicians improve their understanding of the polymerization process for resin-based composites (RBC), the effects of different factors on the process and the way in which, when controlled, the process leads to adequately cured RBC restorations.
Ten factors and their possible effects on RBC polymerization are reviewed and discussed, with some recommendations to improve that process. These factors include RBC shades, their light curing duration, increment thickness, light unit system used, cavity diameter, cavity location, light curing tip distance from the curing RBC surface, substrate through which the light is cured, filler type, and resin/oral cavity temperature.
The results of the review will guide clinicians toward the best means of providing their patients with successfully cured RBC restorations.
本综述的目的是帮助临床医生更好地理解树脂基复合材料（RBC）的聚合过程、不同因素对该过程的影响，以及在控制这些因素时该过程如何产生充分固化的RBC修复体。
回顾并讨论了十个因素及其对RBC聚合的可能影响，并提出了一些改进该过程的建议。这些因素包括RBC的颜色、光固化持续时间、增量厚度、使用的光固化设备系统、窝洞直径、窝洞位置、光固化头与固化的RBC表面的距离、光透过其进行固化的底物、填料类型以及树脂/口腔温度。
综述结果将指导临床医生采用最佳方法为患者提供成功固化的RBC修复体。
