Abstract

Today's dentistry, in terms of operative and rehabilitative dentistry, focuses on adhesive dentistry. Since the introduction of light-curing resin-based materials such as composite resins, adhesive systems, resin cement, and orthodontic adhesive systems, the use of curing lights has expanded. So curing light is a dental device of prime necessity. The selection of curing lights should be based on their characteristics that directly influence the polymerization process.
