An Interactive Light Curing Workshop


Curing lights and light-curing have become an essential part of the dental office. Light cured materials and their mechanism of polymerisation are continually evolving and light curing considerations need to be reviewed to ensure desired results are achieved. 

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 which need to be considered.

This interactive program will cover a comprehensive overview of light curing and how you can easily improve the success of your restorations. BYO curing light and test your technique with the unique M.A.R.C. simulator, that will give you real-time readings on anterior and posterior preparations so you can understand what can be done to Improve the quality of your composite restorations.

Topics include

  • Properties of light: wavelength, irradiance, energy, beam profile 
  • Guidelines for ideal curing techniques 
  • Best practices & the International Consensus on Light Exposure 
  • Risks of blue light to the human eye 
  • How to prevent tissue damage from heat by the curing light 
  • Impacts and requirements of ‘bulk fill’ composites 
  • Differences between light curing units in the market 
  • Hands-on exercise with the M.A.R.C. simulator (real-time measurements on anterior and posterior simulated restorations)

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the fundamentals of light curing
  • Be able to apply core scientific elements into your daily practice for improved restoration durability and quality
  • Understand how to compensate for shortcomings in curing units or poor technique
  • Understand how to optimise operator technique with a simple 5-step checklist
  • Be able to operate curing lights in ways that are safe for patients and clinical team
