abstract：:Immediate finishing is a highly desirable property of restorative materials. In general, the resin composites, the polyacid-modified resin composites and resin-modified glass-ionomers are finished immediately after light-curing. For the conventional glass-ionomers a waiting period of 24 h is recommended. Therefore, th...
