The patient was treated with a conservative and cost-effective solution: no-prep direct-bonded composite veneers. Dr. Fischer-Jessop chose this method to mask the discoloration and match the patient’s upper teeth with the lower anteriors—avoiding the need for more invasive procedures like implants or costly lab processed veneers. The shades B1D and Enamel White (EW) were selected to lighten the teeth and Transcend™ composite’s Universal Body (UB) shade was used to ensure the margin blended naturally into the cervical areas.

Irradiance vs power, beam size, even the tools used to measure light outputs all play major roles in how a curing light will function. To find true quality and efficiency in a light, a user must be able to wade through the waves of false and misleading claims often made in the world of dental curing light advertising—Ultradent’s Sr. VP of Research & Development, Neil Jessop, delves into these topics and more in this edition of Dentistry Decoded: Insights from R&D.

While there is no doubt irradiance adds value, it does not tell the full story of how well a light will cure various materials. Irradiance tests typically only show the irradiance of a very small portion of the light. Measuring the power distributed over the entire beam tells a more comprehensive story of its curing capabilities.
