The clinical evaluation of heat-treated composite resin inlays

Laboratory research indicates the physical properties of composite resin used for posterior restorations can be significantly increased if a secondary dry heat treatment of the material was accomplished. This study investigated the clinical performance of a heat-treated composite resin inlay, using both the direct and indirect methods of clinical evaluation. Contrary to laboratory results, no significant differences in wear could be measured between conventional light-cured inlays and those with secondary dry heat treatment. Other clinical advantages of the heat-treated inlays were observed.
