light. Our findings were 4.69mm of composite were cured in 10 seconds

What is a hardness disk?
This disk is made of a barcol hardness of 75 which Is the acceptable
bottom hardness of a well cured restoration. The disk is 3mm deep.

bottom of the composite and the disk. Compare hardness. If the
composite is cured, they will feel the same.
