Shopping for a dental curing light? Look no further.
ACTEON offers the Mini LED Black, an affordable, high-quality, cordless curing light that is powered by 3 AA batteries.
Having a powerful and easy-to-use curing light can significantly increase your dental practice efficiency. The selection of a curing light that fits your style is one of the most important equipment choices you will make. The advances in adhesion and light curing have revolutionized adhesive resin restorative dentistry, providing quick techniques for long-lasting restorations. When shopping for a curing light, there are several important factors any dentist should consider:
- *The first is wavelength.
- Since most dental products contain camphorquinone (CPQ) as the photoinitiator, curing lights must offer wavelengths that include 465 nm, the wavelength at which CPQ is activated.
- *The second sign of a good curing light is the ability to accurately distribute the energy at a high intensity; this allows for targeted, one-shot curing.
Possessing the ability to cure 3 mm of any composite in 10-second fast-cure mode, its power output of 1,250mW/cm², without raising the temperature, combined with its wide spectrum of emitted light (420 to 480 nm) enables it to efficiently cure virtually any composite on the market.
The Mini LED Black has a lightweight (135 g), ergonomic, pen-style design with a 360° rotated light guide for ease of use, and it has no fan, for reduced risk of cross-contamination. It is delivered with a light shield which also functions as a stand to prevent it from rolling when not in use.
