Análise da irradiação de diversos aparelhos fotopolimerizadores

Abstract

The authors have studied five different visible light-curing devices to verify the irradiance they are able to emit. Using optical instruments like a spectrophotometer and a monochromator, the authors have analyzed the transmittance of the filters, the characteristics of the light radiation source (lamp) and the performance of the ends. They have concluded that the visible light-curing devices analyzed emitted energy in a proper wavelenght, that is, between 350 and 530 nm, with the highest concentration in the range of 430 to 470 nm.
