Introduction: Due to the great demand for more conservative and aesthetic treatments, composites based on photoactivated composite resin started to be widely used in restorative and photopolymerizing procedures, mainly of the light-emitting diode (LED) type, became indispensable for dental offices, since they are essential for the photopolymerization process of these composites. Objective: This work consists of a literature review that aims to dissert about the clinical implications involved in the photopolymerization process of dental composites, describing factors that may have influence in the polymerization of resinous materials in the dental treatment. Material and method: A search for electronic databases was carried out: PubMed, SciELO, BVS and Google Academic, through a search of 40 articles published between 2005 and 2020, in addition to one book considered useful for the conteud of this study. Results: The photopolymerization of resinous materials is related to various parameters, such as the intensity and length of the wave of light emitted by the light-curing device, time of exposure to light, volume of restorative material to be photo-cured, quantity and type of photoinitiator present in the material, type of filler particle present, photopolymerization technique and the degree of translucency of the resin used. These factors are capable of affecting the mechanical and functional properties of the restoration of compost resin. Conclusion: It is essential that dental surgeons understand the clinical implications involved in the dental photopolymerization process and look for ways to correct behaviors that prejudice the photoactivation stage of the restorative material, to optimize this clinical stage and develop reliable protocols, as well as succeeded restorative treatments.
