Zusammenfassung: | Objective:
The aim of this study was to investigate the water sorption and solubility of flowable resins light cured using a blue diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) laser.
Background Data:
DPSS lasers have many advantages over conventional lasers due to their compactness, efficiency, and price.
Materials and Methods:
The water sorption and solubility of seven different flowable resins were measured by following ISO 4049 procedures. The specimens were light cured using two different light sources: 473-nm DPSS laser (LAS) and quartz tungsten halogen (QTH) light (OP). The light-cured specimens were immersed in distilled water for 7 days. The output light intensity of LAS and OP were 500 and 800 mW/cm

respectively. ANOVA was performed for the statistical analysis of the obtained data (
