For improved interstudy reproducibility, reduced risk of premature failures, and ultimately
better patient care, researchers and dentists need to know how to accurately characterize …

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 …

Objective To measure the localised irradiance and wavelength distributions from dental light
curing units (LCUs) and establish a method to characterise their output. Methods Using a …

This review article will help clinicians understand the important role of the light curing unit
(LCU) in their offices. The importance of irradiance uniformity, spectral emission, monitoring …

Objectives To investigate the 24 h post-cure polymerization and the effect of temperature on
the post-cure polymerization of one conventional and three bulk-fill composite materials …

Objectives For improved inter-study reproducibility and ultimately improved patient care,
researchers and dentists need to know what electromagnetic radiation (light) is emitted from …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the curing condition (ie, the
curing mode and restoration thickness) on the tensile bond strength of a dual-cure resin …

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 …

Background The authors conducted a study to examine the irradiance from light-curing units
(LCUs) used in dental offices in Jordan. Methods Two of the authors visited 295 private …

OBJECTIVES: The principal objective of this study was to determine whether the bulk
fracture resistance of ten light activated composites varied over a clinically realistic range of …
