“…Thus, the premature exposure to water leads to leaching of ions, swelling and weakening, whereas loss of water leads to shrinkage and cracking 2 . Based on these findings, more recently, efforts to overcome the dilemma of the water sensitivity have been focused on the properties of setting GICs 4 , since the setting of the GICs can also be influenced by external factors like temperature, pressure, humidity and mixing time [5][6][7] . Studies have reported that this period can be shortened when energy, in the form of heat, is applied to the setting material 4,7,[8][9][10][11][12] .…”
