The Vickers hardness, degree of conversion and scanning electron microscope of the materials light-cured using LED unit were also investigated. One nanofilled (Filtek™ Supreme XT), one nanohybrid (TPH®(3) ) and one universal microhybrid (Filtek™ Z-250) composite resins at color A(2) were used in this study. The samples were made in a metallic mould (4 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness). Their filler weight content was measured by thermogravimetric analysis (TG). The morphology of the filler particles was determined using scanning electron microscope equipped with a field emission gun (SEM-FEG). Vickers hardness and degree of conversion using FT-IR spectroscopy were measured. Filtek™ Z-250 (microhybrid) composite resin shows higher degree of conversion and hardness than those of Filtek™ Supreme XT (nanofilled) and TP...
