Choosing the right curing light for your practice can be a challenge. Factors like intensity, heat dispersion, ergonomics, and battery life all play a role in this essential workhouse of the restorative procedure. Luckily, manufacturers like COLTENE make the selection process simple by checking off all of these boxes— and then some.

 

COLTENE is well-known for developing and manufacturing high-quality dental materials, equipment, and technology, and its duo of LED curing lights is no exception. There is the Coltolux LED curing light, featuring a slim, ergonomic design, and the S.P.E.C. 3 curing light, which offers 3 curing modes—3K, Standard, and Ortho—for maximum functionality in any clinical situation.

 

Slim, Powerful, Cordless

The Coltolux LED curing light combines a slim curing probe with high output in a cordless, lightweight, pen-style design. Additionally, heat sink technology reduces the amount of heat emission and eliminates the need for active cooling.

 

Some notable features of the Coltolux LED curing light include:

• Slim curing probe ideal for hard-to-reach posterior areas

• Design that enhances visibility of the restorative material during the light curing process

• Dome-shaped lens concentrates light output on the restoration

• Ergonomic, lightweight design

• LED light output matches the absorption spectrum of Camphorquinone (CQ) Photoinitiators

• Audible signal every 10 seconds and automatic power-saving sleep mode after 20 seconds of operation

• Hundreds of cures with a fully charged battery

 

Rapid and Deep Polymerization

The sealed aluminum body ensures quick and easy disinfection between patients, while the powerful Lithium Polymer Battery offers enough storage capacity to perform over 300 ten-second cures between charges. Coltene’s S.P.E.C. 3 features 3 curing modes that cater to multiple clinical scenarios:

• Standard Mode: Ideal for most composite curing scenarios

• 3K Mode: For rapid curing when time is an issue, such as with pediatric patients or patients with a gag reflex

• Ortho Mode: Cures an entire full arch of brackets with 2 three-second intervals per bracket

Some other notable features of the S.P.E.C. 3 curing light include:

• High intensity output for rapid polymerization

• Cures 2-mm of composite in 1 second in 3K mode

• Simple, intuitive controls for ease of use
