In most dental areas, over the past 20 years, composites have replaced oxyphosphates, silicate, and amalgamic cement mixtures. Nowadays, such new materials are considered to be almost indispensable. That is why dental clinics and offices have to use special light curing devices.
To select a dental light curing lamp for working with composites, one has to take a large number of performance specifications and parameters into account.
Polymerization is a chemical reaction, in the process of which a certain number of mini molecules is transformed into macromolecules. The curing light lamp generates light which stimulates the photosynthesis process. It is accompanied with the transfer of excitation energy to a molecule containing an amine group. Consequently, connecting bridges between large molecules appear.
The curing light machine should operate within the blue spectrum range. These will be numerical values ranging from 440 nm to 480 nm.
When buying a curing light machine, we recommend you to look, first of all, for the device power and its tip diameter. It is not worth taking into account solely the scattered power density. If the dental clinic needs high-quality polymerization procedures of 2 to 3 millimeters transparent composites in 10 seconds, the best option will be a 400 mW device.
It is also necessary to come up with the types of light-guide fiber. The varieties are as follows:
Important Specifications
In general, the optimal performance parameters are as follows:
The prices of some instruments can be as low as 150 USD or less, while the newest, high-tier systems may cost as much as 550 USD.
Well-known brands of Dental Curing Lights in the United States are ATS dental,Astron and Ivoclar Vivadent. Outside of the US, top-selling is Sybron kerr and Easy access.
Besides, one should understand that new and demo machines will cost more than refurbished or used ones.
What is the difference? New machines have never been used. They have the manufacturer’s warranty. Demo machines are, as a rule, exhibition models. They have not been used in clinical practice but they have been often presented at exhibitions. As a result, the dental curing light price is lower. Refurbished machines are used machines that have undergone improvements (refurbishment can be done at the manufacturer’s facilities or in private repair shops
