So, how do you educate them on the reality behind tooth whitening and the effectiveness products that use lights vs. those that do not? Ultradent to the rescue!

For dentists, one thing that can make or break their work is the quality of the composite they choose to use on their patients. With so many options out there, here are five attributes that all dentists should demand from their composite to guarantee esthetics, performance, and quality and ensure patient satisfaction. Yes, it IS possible to have all of the following in one composite.

The goal is for the composite you’re using to be so seamlessly workable that you don’t need extra products or tricks to get it to go where you want easily, stay put, not slump, not stick, not crumble, and not drag or pull. You shouldn’t have to worry about those things when you’re with your patient.” [Read More](https://blog.ultradent.com/shea-bess-hal-stewart-love-mosaic?hsLang=en) [...Read More](https://blog.ultradent.com/shea-bess-hal-stewart-love-mosaic?hsLang=en) [![](https://blog.ultradent.com/hubfs/Developing%20VALO%20Blog%20hero%20redone.png)](https://blog.ultradent.com/history-of-valo-curing-light?hsLang=en) ## [Developing Ultradent's VALO Curing Light](https://blog.ultradent.com/history-of-valo-curing-light?hsLang=en) [Ultradent Products Inc.](https://blog.ultradent.com/author/ultradent-products-inc) | November 20, 2018 Neil Jessop, Ultradent's Vice President of Research and Development, recently spoke about the evolution of the VALO curing light. "There's a sense of urgency that I constantly feel to keep an eye on what is right and on staying advanced. It's not a free ride." Ever innovating, Ultradent most recently released the VALO® Grand curing light, which offers a 50% larger lens that measures a whopping 12 mm. This larger lens allows clinicians to cover and cure an entire restoration with the light's highly efficient 395 nm–480 nm LEDs. The story behind the VALO light's development, however, started over two decades ago, in 1997.

One of the latest categories of dental products brought to the market by numerous manufacturers is retraction paste, which is meant to replace traditional retraction cord for tissue management cases. Ultradent's Ultrapak® retraction cord was tested against popular retraction pastes on the market to surprising results Touted as faster and easier to apply, the concept of a retraction paste seems to check the efficiency box, but is it effective? Ultradent's Vice President of Research and Development, Neil Jessop, devised a means of measuring its effectiveness when compared to cord and the results were surprising.

Price to discuss curing lights. For those not familiar with Dr. Price and his work, he’s widely considered the dental industry’s premier expert on curing lights and research surrounding dental light curing. In fact, he’s been cited in more than 3,000 peer-reviewed, published research articles in over 140 publications throughout his career, and he shows no sign of slowing down. His innate curiosity for studying the reasons behind common issues that dentists in every field face unexpectedly led him to his chosen field of study. He now finds great satisfaction in mentoring and conducting research with the upcoming generation of dental students, dentists, and dental researchers at Tufts University School of Dentistry and at various dental schools in Canada, Brazil, and Europe.

We recently sat down with Carol to talk about her favorite hygiene products. "The first Ultradent sealant product I used from the company, before I ever even worked here, was UltraSeal XT® plus sealant. The office where I was working at the time had used another sealant product that I didn't like at all—it seemed it was always failing and we were constantly having to redo sealant. "At a trade show we learned about UltraSeal XT plus sealant and decided to give it a try and track the success rate. We were amazed! We weren't having to redo any of our sealants and if we did, it was rare."

If you never have, consider the duties these incredibly detailed-oriented, educated, patient, and in many cases, strong-stomached, people do for us, our children, our parents, and our grandparents. Each and every day, hygienists deal with things most people couldn’t imagine in their worst nightmares. They remove deep calculus and stubborn plaque from patients who refuse to brush more than two or three times a week, they smell patients’ terrible breath, they get attitude from their patients every time they have to once again (for the millionth time) remind them that they need to floss, they clean patients’ teeth who ate lunch on the way to their appointment, and they deal with body odor, vomit, kids throwing tantrums, patients coming in with a cold, flu, a terrible cough… the list goes on and on! That doesn’t even cover the risk of radiation exposure, risk of hearing loss from loud equipment vibrations, eye strain, or the continued neck, shoulder, hand, and wrist soreness that hygienists often experience after seeing upwards of ten patients a day.

There are many procedures that can be completed with a diode laser. Owning one brings an incredible amount of utility to a clinician. Most offices purchase a diode laser primarily for troughing but end up finding more and more reasons to use it. Essentially, any soft-tissue work that needs to be done can be completed with a diode laser because it makes the work so simple! You only need to grab the laser, attach a new tip, and get to work. The utility in owning a diode laser is the number one reason dental offices should own at least one!

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.
