The Dental Curing Light

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Dental Composite Materials for Direct Restorations

Abstract

Light-cured dental resins have revolutionized modern dentistry, and the dental curing light has become an indispensable piece of equipment in almost every dental office. Despite its routine use, the importance of the curing light and how it is used is poorly understood by most operators. Every study that has evaluated curing lights used in dental offices has shown that they often deliver an inadequate light output, and a study published in 2017 reported that 14.5% of dentists did not carry out any regular maintenance on their curing lights. In many offices, the dentists were unaware that their lights were not delivering an adequate light output or that their resins were not achieving the manufacturer’s specifications. This is most likely because the dentist can only test the top surface of the resin. Here the resin appears hard and well cured, yet the bulk of the resin underneath may be undercured.
