Session Overview: 

This presentation will cover the science around photopolymerization that must be known by all dental professionals handling a curing light. From the equipment you use to operator technique, you will see that light curing is much more than light cure. Curing lights and light-curing have become an essential part of the dental office. Yet, how much were you taught about this essential piece of equipment? It is not just about the irradiance measured on a table with a dental radiometer. The emission spectrum, active tip size, and power output are all important factors you should consider. This lecture will cover the basics of light curing and how you can easily improve the success of your restorations.

1. Properties of light: wavelength, irradiance, energy, beam profile
2. Guidelines for an ideal curing technique
3. Risks of blue light to the human eye
4. How to prevent tissue damage from heat by the curing light

6. Differences between light curing units in the market

Learning Objectives:
