CHARACTERISTICS OF LIGHT SOURCES FOR DENTAL INSTRUMENTS

Abstract

Dentists use microscopes for diagnosis, and recovering transactions of teeth are often carried out using composite resins. Each processing uses a special dental machine. An important element of these machines is the physical characteristic of the light sources that they use. Typical dental lamps are halogen, xenon, and LED lamps, and each type of light source has its own characteristics. This report gives a comparison of the physical characteristics of each type of light source, and the practicality of each one.
