Methods: Forty-five extracted molars, patients aging 11-18 years were used. Thermocouples (TCs) were placed in contact with the roof of the pulp chamber using a ‘split-tooth’ method. Teeth were placed in a water bath with the temperature of the pulp chamber regulated at 37°±1°C. Group 1 (control): Prismatics® Lite II (Dentsply Detrey, Konstanz, Germany), a halogen LCU, light intensity 500 mW/cm2. Group 2: Bluephase® ( Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein), light intensity 1100 mW/cm2. Group 3:Elipar Freelight2 (3M ESPE, Seefeld, Germany), light intensity 1000 mW/cm2. Temperature changes were continuously recorded with a data logger connected to a PC. Results: Significantly higher temperature rise was recorded during bond curing than RBC curing in all 3 groups. (Halogen; p =0.0003: Bluephase; p=0.0043: Elipar; p=0.0002.). Higher temperatures were recorded during polymerisation of both Bond and RBC with both LED sources than with the halogen control. There was no significant difference between the two LED,LCUs (Bond:p=0.0279: RBC p=0.0562: Mann-Whitney). Conclusion: The potential risk of pulpal injury during RBC polymerisation is increased when using light-curing units with high energy output compared to low energy output light sources. The rise is greatest when curing bonding agent alone and clinicians are advised to be aware of the potential hazard of thermal trauma to the pulp when using high intensity light sources. However the mean temperature rise with all three units was below the limits normally associated with permanent pulp damage. 12 5 2008 137 141 TODENTJ-2-137 1 10.2174/crossmark_policy opendentistryjournal.com benthamopen.com true Peer Reviewed Single blind Checked with iThenticate 2008-9-19 2008-10-28 2008-10-30 2008-12-5 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/) 10.2174/1874210600802010137 1553505023 https://opendentistryjournal.com/VOLUME/2/PAGE/137/ https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V2/TODENTJ-2-137/TODENTJ-2-137.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V2/TODENTJ-2-137/TODENTJ-2-137.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V2/TODENTJ-2-137/TODENTJ-2-137.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V2/TODENTJ-2-137/TODENTJ-2-137.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V2/TODENTJ-2-137/TODENTJ-2-137.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V2/TODENTJ-2-137/TODENTJ-2-137.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V2/TODENTJ-2-137/TODENTJ-2-137.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V2/TODENTJ-2-137/TODENTJ-2-137.xml J Oral Rehabil Shortall AC 25 908 1998 Shortall AC, Harrington E.
