The process of light-curing resin-based dental materials is one of the major reasons for clinical failures. However, there is a lack of information and instructions on what is required to achieve an adequate light-curing in different clinical situations. Thus, the present literature review aims at providing a brief background on light-curing in Dentistry and some recommendations to help on different light-curing processes used in the clinical routine on a daily basis.

Keywords: Light-curing. Curing lights. Dental curing lights. Photoinitiators.
