New Generation of Visible-Light Curing Units

摘要

The purpose of this study was to provide information to aid USAF Dental Clinics in their selection of the best dental visible-light curing unit for their requirements. Twelve units were compared against a set of criteria comprising the most desirable and necessary features. Each unit was also field tested for a user's comparison. Most units were found to be similar in their features, but depth of cured varied widely from unit to unit. All of the tested units essentially performed the tasks for which they had been designed. The selection of a visible-light curing unit depends on the needs of the respective dental clinic. (RH)
