Contemporary dentistry literally cannot be performed without use of resin-based restorative
materials. With the success of bonding resin materials to tooth structures, an even wider …

The ability to light cure dental resins “on demand” in the mouth has revolutionized modern
dentistry. Consequently the dental light curing unit (LCU) has become an indispensable …

Introduction: This article describes the features that should be considered when describing,
purchasing and using a light-curing unit (LCU). Methods: The International System of Units …

Objectives This study aimed to investigate dentists' exposure to curing light and to obtain
information about the dentists' knowledge on practical use and technical features of their …

Objective Determine the degree of conversion (DC) and in vitro pulpal temperature (PT) rise
of low-viscosity (LV) and high-viscosity (HV) conventional resin-based composites (RBC) …

Objectives To investigate how heat development in the pulp chamber and coronal surface of
natural teeth with and without cusps subjected to irradiance using light-emitting diode (LED) …

Purpose: This study examined the influence of different emission spectra (single-peak and
broad-spectrum) light-curing units (LCUs) delivering the same radiant exposures at …

Detection of unreacted monomers from pre-heated resin-based dental composites (RBC) is
not a well-investigated topic so far. The objectives were to determine the temperature …

Objectives: This study evaluated the light output from six light-emitting diode dental curing
lights after 25 consecutive light exposures without recharging the battery, tip accessibility in …

Abstract Light Curing Units (LCUs) are used daily in almost every dental office to photocure
resins, but because the light is so bright, the user is unable to tell visually if there are any …
