The aim of this study was to compare the hardness and elastic modulus of orthodontic adhesives cured with different light-curing units, based on light-emitting diodes. Standardized samples of orthodontic adhesives, Transbond™ XT, Opal® Bond™ and Light Bond™ were prepared in cylinder blocks and cured for three seconds with Valo Ortho LED (Ultradent Products, South Jordan, Utah) and Valo LED High-Power Mode. After grinding and polishing, specimens were stored in distilled water at 37°C for one day. Specimens were investigated using nanoindenter. Employment of Valo Ortho unit has resulted in significantly higher elastic modules for Transbond™ XT (p=0.041). The highest nanohardness and elastic modules were measured for Transbond™ XT cured with Valo Ortho (9.47 GPa; 81.85 GPa, respectively) and lowest for Opal® Bond™ for both Valo Ortho (0.44 GPa; 14.52 GPa, respectively) and Valo High-Power groups (0.44 GPa; 11.84 GPa, respectively).

The aim of this study is to determine the hardness and roughness of glass ionomer cement, glass carbomer, and compomer by nanoindentation. Three different dental restorative materials: glass ionomer cement, glass carbomer cement, and compomer were used. Disc specimens (10 mm × 1 mm) were prepared from each material using teflon mold. All specimens were light cured according to the manufacturer's instructions. The specimens were then mounted in polyacrilic resin. After grinding and polishing the specimens were stored in distilled water at 37°C for 1 day. The specimens were investigated using nanoindenter. The highest nanohardness was measured for glass ionomer cement and the lowest for glass carbomer. Regarding roughness, glass ionomer cement and compomer showed the highest mean values. Glass ionomer cement and compomer exhibited similar nanomechanical properties. Glass carbomer had superior ability to be polished up.
