*3.5. Depth of Cure*  Higher curing depth of restorative materials is one of the factors that determine the quality of the material [26]. Curing depth results obtained for dental composites prepared with either MMT or PLG are displayed in Table 3. It can be seen that the curing depth was not affected either by the nanoclay-type or filler content. Further, all composites exhibited higher values than that established in the ISO 4049 standard [17] (1.5 mm), and even better values than those reported by other authors Higher curing depth of restorative materials is one of the factors that determine the quality of the material [26].
