What is the influence of the design of the equipment in the polymerization of resin materials?

Carlos Alberto Kenji Shimokawa e Marcelo Giannini

Power, emission spectrum and light beam profile are important factors related to the light emitted by light curing units and must be considered when choosing a light curing unit.1 Besides that, there are equipment made with different materials, shapes and sizes. Therefore, one should also consider factors related to the equipment’s design: shape/angle and size of the light tips. The shape and angle of the light curing units’ tips are important to enable their correct positioning over the materials to be polymerized.
