This laboratory study examined the effects of curing lights with different light intensities and changing flow rate on the increase in pulpal temperature during the light curing process and the rate of the subsequent decrease in temperature after the termination of light curing.The tip of a temperature sensor was positioned on the pulpal dentinal wall of the buccal side of the maxillary premolar. Metal tubes were inserted in the palatal and buccal root of the tooth, one for water inflow and the other for water outflow. The tubes were connected to a pump to control the flow rate. The water flow rate was set to 4.2 mu l/minute, 28 mu l/minute or 70 mu l/minute. At each flow rate, the unprepared tooth was light cured from the buccal side 1 mm from the buccal surface, using four different curing lights. The temperature data were recorded and stored on a computer every second for three minutes. The curing lights that were used were: Astralis 10 (QTH(high), Ivoclar Vivadent), Bluephase 16i (LED(conv), Ivoclar Vivadent) and two experimental LED-curing lights (LED(exp2000), LED(exp3000), Ivoclar Vivadent). The power densities were 1200 mW/cm(2), 1600 mW/cm(2), 2000 mW/cm(2) and 3000 mW/cm(2), respectively. The curing lights, LED(conv), LED(exp2000) and LED(exp3000) were activated for 60 seconds, and the QTH(high) was activated for 30 seconds. The maximum intrapulpal temperature (T(MAX)) and rate of temperature change at 30 seconds after turning off the light (S(30LO)) were analyzed by two-way ANOVA with a post-hoc Tukey test (p LED(conv)> QTH(high). There was no difference in T(MAX) between the different flow rates (p>0.05). Both the curing lights and flow rates affected the S(30LO) (p LED(exp2000)> LED(conv), QTH(high) (p
