K. Shinkai et al., HOW HEAT-TREATMENT AND THERMAL CYCLING AFFECT WEAR OF COMPOSITE RESININLAYS, The Journal of the American Dental Association, 125(11), 1994, pp. 1467-1472
A three-bodied in vitro localized wear test investigated the effect of
additional heat treatment and thermocycling on localized wear of ligh
t-cured composite resin inlays. In only one material did the thermocyc
ling heat treatment have an appreciative positive effect on wear resis
tance.
