What kind of light does the light curing process use?
The dental LED curing lights use LED's that produce a narrow spectrum of blue light in the 400–500 nm range (with a peak wavelength of about 460 nm), which is the useful energy range for activating the CPQ molecule most commonly used to initiate the photo-polymerization of dental monomers."
What is the curing time for a curing light with a halogen bulb?
The curing time used for each LED and halogen LCU was 40 s. For each curing unit, 10 samples of each material were tested. The curing depth was determined using a scraping test based on ISO 4049:2000.
What happens if you look at the curing light?
Over exposure to blue light cure without protective measurements can induce apoptosis to the cornea, increased ocular inflammation and dryness of the eye. The short term risks associated with dental Lights cure is particularly low if safety measures are used.
