DEVICE FOR HARDENING COMPOSITE MATERIALS USED IN THE DENTAL FIELD

摘要

Device for hardening composite materials used in the dental field, of the type including a central control unit (2), a light source (11) connected to said central control unit (2), a light wave guide (4) to apply the light energy to the area to be treated and optical means (5) for filtering the light emitted between said light source (11) and said guide (4). The central control unit (2) comprises electronic means (20, 21, 22) for defining and/or memorising an energy profile according to the colour of the composite material (3) to be treated and/or which the composite contains, and electronic means (23) for controlling the light intensity of the light source (11) and possibility of the filtering means (5) so as to vary the characteristics of said filtering.
