Background: The clinical performance of composite resins is directly related to the degree of conversion of monomers to polymers after their photopolymerization. It is known that at low temperatures the degree of conversion decreases, so it is important to find alternatives that optimize photopolymerization. Objective: To evaluate the degree of conversion of photoactivated composite resins at low temperatures with different photopolymerization protocols. Materials and methods: Seventy five composite resin specimens were made, 5mm x 2mm. The resin was photoactivated according to 15 photopolymerization protocols. After 24 h, conversion degree values were recorded using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The data were statistically analyzed using descriptive tests (mean and S.D.) and inferential tests (ANOVA/Duncan) with a 95% confidence level. Results: The lowest conversion degree values were obtained when the composite resin was photoactivated at a temperature of 0 °C, regardless of intensity and time. For the 10 °C, 1000 mW/cm2 group, the conversion degree values did not show statistically significant differences from the control group at any of the evaluated times (p<0.05). Conclusion: The lowest values of degree of conversion were at temperatures 0 °C and 10 °C, which were more critical when the intensity was increased in short periods of time. At a temperature of 10 °C, polymerizing in 40s generated a stable degree of conversion.
