The rate of post-exposure polymerization and the effects of initial polymerization on the final polymerization of visible light-activated composite resin were studied. The extent of polymerization, as indicated by hardness values, was influenced by the exposure time to the photo-activating radiation and by the post-exposure time. The timing of testing is critical when studying the properties of visible light-activated composite resins.
