Effect of self and dual-curing on degree of conversion and crosslink density of dual-cure core build-up materials

In comparison of GR and CLF, DC showed no statistical difference in both curing modes. However, dual and self-cured GR has statistically higher Tg values and lower percentage of softening in ethanol than CLF. Polymerization characteristics of dual-cure core build-up composites have superiority in dual-cured mode than self-cured.
