Curing Lights: Are You Delivering What You Paid For?
World renowned researcher Prof. Price explains how you can easily improve the success rate of your restorations
Curing lights and light-curing have become an essential part of the dental office. Yet how much were you taught about this essential piece of equipment? It is not just about the irradiance measured on a table with a dental radiometer. The emission spectrum, active tip size, and power output are all important factors you should consider. This lecture will cover the basics of light curing and how you can easily improve the success of your restorations.
This course was coordinated in partnership with the Australian Dental Association for the ADX21 Melbourne online program.
