New 3M™ ESPE™ Elipar™ DeepCure-S and Paradigm DeepCure LED Curing Lights Add Confidence to Curing
Optimized optics mean better curing in
real-world conditions
ST.
PAUL, Minn. – (June 1, 2015) – Dental professionals want predictability and
confidence with their products and procedures, but sometimes the curing step
can feel like a leap of faith. In fact, research shows that 69 percent of bulk
fill users are not confident of polymerization deep in the cavity.1 If
you can’t see under a restoration, how can you be sure it has cured properly
and won’t break down prematurely? Now, with the new 3M™ ESPE™ Elipar™ DeepCure-S
and Paradigm™ DeepCure LED Curing Lights, dental professionals can be more
confident they have achieved a uniform and deep cure, even when they can’t get
the light in a perfect position.
The new DeepCure LED Curing Lights have
optimized optics, so they deliver a beam that is more uniform, with rays that
stay more parallel and spread minimally as they travel away from the source.
This creates a more even distribution of energy throughout the restoration,
resulting in a complete and uniform cure from center to rim and from top to
bottom—at clinically relevant distances. With the high-performing 1,470 mW/cm2 intensity, dental professionals can
be sure of their cure.
“The
well-balanced, ergonomic shape of the lights are comfortable for the operator,
and performance is consistent regardless of the user,” said Nikki McKeon, U.S.
marketer of direct restoratives for 3M ESPE Dental. “With improvements to the
angle of the light guide, dentists now have easy access to all tooth surfaces,
even hard to reach ones, which enhances overall patient comfort.”
The new
lights are available in two models, both with identical technical performance.
The Elipar DeepCure-S LED Curing Light
is made with durable stainless steel, and has a charging base with built-in
light meter indicating the operating status and light intensity. And the Paradigm DeepCure LED Curing Light gives
dentists a lighter weight, economic model that is charged with a charging plug.
Both models
provide intuitive two-button
and single-mode operation, and no toggling between settings for optimal
performance. The lights provide approximately 120 minutes of consecutive
cordless curing time—that’s 720 10-second cures with constant light output,
regardless of battery charge. The V-shaped handpiece and the 360° rotating
light guide provide a comfortable grip, and the 10mm light guide provides a
complete one-shot cure of MOD fillings.
With these
new curing lights, dentists can be sure of their cure whether they use standard
or bulk fill composites.
