Light curing factors and terminology

In this video, we will explore the key factors influencing light curing in dentistry, including the type of curing unit, exposure time, and material properties. We’ll define essential radiometric terms such as irradiance and energy density and examine common reasons for failure, including insufficient polymerization and inadequate light transmission due to material thickness, shade, or opacity. Additionally, we’ll discuss the energy requirements of different materials and provide best practice recommendations to optimize curing techniques, ensuring strong, durable, and reliable restorations.
