Key Points

This research aims to establish a protocol for visualizing the thermal distribution profiles of composite resins during polymerization using infrared thermography.
Prepared specimens of flowable resin and bulk-fill resin in thicknesses of 0.5 to 5.0 mm.
Collected thermal data in real-time during light-curing using a high-intensity LED curing light.
Used a single specimen per condition for descriptive interpretation of results.
Peak temperature decreased with increased distance from the center.
Bulk-fill resin exhibited faster thermal response and superior spatial thermal homogeneity compared to flowable resin.
Flowable resin showed reduced thermal response at thicknesses beyond 2.5 mm.
