The curing pattern of five commercial light-cured composites was investigated. Micro-ATR infrared spectroscopy was used to evaluate the degree of cure as a function of distance from the exposed surface and curing time. KHN measurements were also obtained for each depth to relate the hardness pattern to the degree of conversion. The post-curing efficiency of each system was studied by DSC. The results indicate that microfilled materials present smaller depth of cure and higher amount of unconverted bonds as a function of distance and exposure time. Depth of cure, hardness pattern and curing pattern are extended with increased inorganic loading. The thermal capacity of the filler fraction influences degree of cure. A great loss in the heat induced polymerization is observed 24-h post curing, attributed to the dead end polymerization effect.
