Practice Innovations LED Curing Lights

Enlighten me
Energy efficient, cool running, and easy to maintain, LED curing lights are now chairside standards. The latest generation effectively cures materials with a wide range of wavelengths.


Den-Mat 
The Allegro LED curing light, which has a maximum light intensity at clinically relevant distances of 2 to 3 mm, cures composites with exceptional hardness. The curing light eliminates the need for direct contact with the tooth while maximizing power where it’s needed. Featuring a rotating tip and ergonomic handle, it’s well suited for curing sealants and other restorations.

GC America
The newly designed G-Light has a LED module and light intentsity technology providing an easy one-touch timer setting—5, 10, 20 seconds, and C (Continuous mode 5 minutes); quiet operation; a clear battery level indicator, and an easy changing lithium-ion battery. Additionally, its autoclavable 360° rotating optic light guide is capable of reaching all areas. The curing light delivers optimal and constant power density, and its extended life provides for more than 400 individual irradiations at 10-second duration, and the automatic switch-off saves power when not used for 2 minutes. The device has a 2-year warranty on parts and labor.
