Summary:	OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the sample preparation of bulk fill resin composites in molar influenced by the light curing units (LCUs) on Knoop hardness (KHN, N/mm2) and degree of conversion (DC, %) in different depths and regions. METHODS: Two molar teeth were selected. One molar was embedded in polystyrene resin, sectioned in three parts and received a MOD preparation with lateral cavities surfaces pre-polished and the other one was embedded and the MOD cavity was performed. Standardized expulsive cavity with 4 mm depth in the occlusal area and 5 mm at the proximal were made. Patient simulator with 44 mm of mouth opening had the molar teeth positioned as a second mandibular molar. Restorations were performed using a high viscosity bulk fill resin composite (Opus Bulk Fill, FGM) and light cured using two LCUs: VALO Cordless (Ultradent) and Bluephase G2 (Ivoclar-Vivadent). The resin composite was placed in one increment and light-cured for 40 s on distal and mesial occlusal surfaces. Samples were prepared: CEmPol, performed conventionally, embedded in polystyrene resin and polished before testing; CPol; performed conventionally, without embedment in polystyrene resin but polished before testing; PrePol, performed in a pre-polished molar cavity with no embedment or polishing before testing. KHN was calculated in different depths in two regions of mesial, occlusal and distal cavities. The degree of conversion was measured by Raman spectroscopy at the top and bottom of mesial, distal and at occlusal regions. Data of KHN and DC were analyzed by using 2-way repeated measurement followed by Tukey test (α = 0.05). RESULTS: Sample preparation method (P < 0.001), depth of restoration (P < 0.001) and the interaction between sample method and depth of restoration (P = 0.003) influence the KHN values. Significant influence was detected for sample confection method (P < 0.001), tooth region (P < 0.001), and for interaction between sample confection method and tooth region (P = 0.002) for DC values. In general, KHN reduced significantly from the top to the bottom of the restoration, mainly at proximal boxes. The PrePol method was the more efficient method to detect the significant difference for depth of the restoration and tooth region. Lower DC was found on the gingival region on the proximal box on the restoration, irrespective of the location being mesial, occlusal or distal area. CONCLUSION: The sample preparation that was embedded and polished had the uncompleted polymerized monomers layer removed due to the polishing process reducing the capacity of detection of KHN and DC values of bulk fill composite restorations influenced by depth or region of the cavities. The use of PrePol method was able to detect difference produced by light activation in deeper areas.
