What is a curing lamp? This LED device is used every day in the dental office, enabling work with light-cured composite materials and bonding systems.
When equipping an office or clinic, doctors often wonder which polymerization lamp to buy?
To answer this question, you need to learn a little about the device itself.
Principle of operation
The principle of operation of the polymerization lamp is to produce intense ultraviolet radiation, which ensures the polymerization of photosensitive resins in the filling materials. The dental curing light itself consists of a main unit, high-power LEDs and optical fiber. The wavelength generated by the device is 450-550 nm. Therefore, when buying a lamp, you must first of all pay attention to its technical characteristics, because, first of all, it must fulfill its main function.
Modern polymerization lamps based on LED technologies do not require cooling because their internal elements do not heat up, so they work quietly. Woodpecker offers state-of-the-art models with a built-in battery that increases the convenience of work for the doctor.
Curing lamps. Types.
According to the principle of operation, lamps with normal, pulsed or soft start are distinguished.
The strong light flux of the normal start leads to a high curing speed, but at the same time it may provoke the adhesive system to detach from the restoration surface. As a result, there is a violation of the marginal fit and faster shrinkage of the filling material. The Woodpecker X-CURE curing lamp has all three operating modes, which gives the doctor the right to choose in various clinical situations. However, iLed or iLed Plus polymerization lamps have two operating modes, which also gives the dentist the opportunity to choose the appropriate operating mode.
The Woodpecker X-CURE curing lamp is also used to detect caries.
