| Abstract:
|
An important tool or instrument in the current era of dentistry without which procedures involving resin based restorative materials cannot be performed is the light curing unit. Invariably, the dentist’s understanding of the physical aspects of the curing device, its handling, working, maintenance and chemical processes involved i.e. photopolymerisation of the resin, is crucial for implementing it in practice. It was in the 1960s that the first light curing composite was introduced. Parallelly, the first light curing device introduced at that time was Nuva Light, by Dentsply, which incorporated a UV light system of curing. Ever since, a wide range of curing devices, that have been developed to overcome difficulties and practical glitches associated with it, have resulted in a diverse range of choices for the dentist to choose from. This review will assess the efficacy of different types of curing units that would enable the practising dentist to choose the right kind of devices, for ultimately providing better treatment.
