In case of light cure composites, application of light source to the composite material is held at a distance of 1 mm from the tooth surface and the 1-2 mm of increments are added, bulk addition of composite is contraindicated.  Usually, 70% of polymerization takes place during the first 10 minutes, though the polymerization reaction continues for a period of 24 hours.  The operator is asked to wear an orange glass shield for the protection of the eyes.
