This study evaluated the influence of different light-curing modes on the volumetric polymerization shrinkage and degree of conversion of a composite resin at different locations using micro-computed tomography and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Specimens were divided into 4 groups based on the light-curing mode used (Bluephase 20i): 1 -High (1,200 mW/cm 2 ); 2 -Low (650 mW/cm 2 ); 3 -Soft-start (650-1,200 mW/cm 2 ); and 4 -Turbo (2,000 mW/cm 2 ). Degree of conversion was calculated by the measurement of the peak absorbance height of the uncured and cured materials at the specific wavenumbers, and was performed by FTIR 48 h after curing resin samples. Degree of conversion was analyzed using two-way ANOVA. No significant differences were observed independent of the region of the restoration investigated (p&gt;0.05). Different curing modes did not influence volumetric shrinkage neither degree of conversion of class I composite resin restorations.
