Excerpt from Abstract

Purpose: This study investigated the leaching of monomers from bulk-fill composites, as well as physical properties of the materials

……..

Conclusion: The leaching of monomers increased dramatically when a distance from the light tip to the material was introduced. This indicated that a  prolonged curing time, relative to that given by the manufacturer, may be necessary in clinical situations in order to retain an optimal performance of the material
