TY - JOUR AU - AB - 1 2 Background: This study aimed to compare the temperature increase produced by halogen bulb (HAL) and light-emitting diode (LED) light curing units (LCUs) by irradiating dentin discs (0.5 mm and 1 mm version 1 thickness), and to evaluate their cytotoxic effects on fibroblast culture report report 25 Nov 2020 in the presence of dentin discs due to the increasing demand on resin composite restorations and teeth bleaching for esthetic purposes. 1. Talal Al-Nahlawi, Syrian Private University, Methods: A total of 20 bovine incisors were used to obtain dentin Damascus, Syria discs and divided into four experimental groups (n=10): HAL0.5: irradiation with halogen-tungsten bulb Curing Light XL 3000 at an 2. Afnan O Al-Zain , Faculty of Dentistry, intensity of 470 mW/cm over a dentin disc of 0.5 mm; LED0.5: King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi irradiation with LED Optilight Max (GNATUS- Ribeirão Preto, SP, Brazil) at an intensity of 1200 mW/cm over a dentin disc of 0.5 mm; HAL1: Arabia irradiation as in HAL0.5 but over a dentin disc of 1 mm; LED1: Dalea M. Bukhary, King Abdulaziz University, irradiation as in LED0.5 but over a dentin disc of 1 mm.
