A good curing light isn't just another tool in a dentist's armamentarium. In fact, it can truly take a dental practice to the next level. For Dr. Adam Beno, one device that routinely steals the show in his Fort Myers, FL practice is Patterson Dental’s LED Curing Light. “Patterson's curing light has been very beneficial to my practice. The fact that it is cordless enables us to use it in multiple operatories with ease,” he told DPS.
A Fort Myers native who, after graduating from dental school, moved back to his hometown and took over the practice of his childhood dentist, Dr. Beno strives to provide his patients with the quality dental care they deserve, and Patterson’s LED Curing Light helps him do just that. “The ergonomics of the light enable efficient use because it reaches those difficult-to-access areas more effectively.”
Improved Ergonomics
With a cordless, lightweight, and slimline design, a well-balanced grip, and a 360° rotatable head, Patterson’s LED Curing Light is designed with clinician comfort mind. “The curing light is very lightweight, and its 360° rotatable head enables the light to reach those tough-to-access areas in the posterior with ease,” Dr. Beno shared.
Featuring a light intensity of 1,500 mW/cm2 with a wavelength range of 440 nm to 480 nm, the curing light can polymerize all light-cure composite materials. An optimally collimated light beam ensures consistent light intensity, while a combination of pulse technology and steady current manages heat output.
“The light is able to cure the materials very effectively and reliably,” Dr. Beno described. “This gives me confidence that the restorative material has been fully cured and that we are delivering the best restoration possible to our patients on a consistent basis.”
