DEAR CUSTOMER
Congratulations. You have made a good choice when you decided to buy a GNATUS QUALITY
product comparable to the best products available in the World. This manual is a general presentation of
your product and it will give you important details to help you to solve possible problems.
Please, read it and keep this with you.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Optilight LD Max belongs to the newest generation of LED photo-activation devices. This
abbreviation stands for Light Emitting Diode , a totally different type of light emission, if compared to
conventional halogen equipment.
Unlike traditional devices, which generate wide-spectrum light and heat, this technology uses a cold
light of the precise wave length needed to activate various dental products.
LED technology, which was recently introduced in Dentistry, brought about several useful features to
those light-curing devices used in composite resin restoration. Besides being more durable, LED technology
turned devices more compact, ergonomic and easier to install and transport. The emission of cold light
within a precise wave length range ensures the safe cure of camphorquinone-activated composites,
preventing dental heating, pulp damage or discomfort for both patient and dentist. Although being relatively
new, this technology is nowadays in its second generation. LED safety and efficiency, now allied to high-
energy emission, are available to all clinic procedures which require light-curing power, including bleaching
treatments.
The light of 440nm-460nm wave length, allied to the high energy emitted by Optilight LD Max, makes
possible the multi-functionality of this device:
- Direct restoration procedures : composite resins, ionomers and adhesives.
- Indirect restorations : adhesive cementation of laminates, inlays, esthetic pins and metal-free
crowns.
- Dental Bleaching : activation of bleaching gel and polymerization of gingival barriers. Compatible
with 35% hydrogen peroxide-based bleaching gels.
- Attachment of braces and orthodontic accessories.
-
Activation of light-cure materials , such as sealants, surgical cements and covering bases.
Designed and built with cutting-edge technology, it meets the highest standards specified by world’s
dental authorities.
It features an automatic bi-voltage power supply, which allows operation in the range of 90 to 240 V
AC, 50/60 Hz.
Operation control display in handpiece, sound alarm with beep every 10 seconds and 4 beeps at the
end of the cycle.
Advantages offered by Optilight LD Max:
- More spectrally-selective light than conventional lamps.*
- Cold light, it doesn’t heat up the resin nor the tooth**
• Light compact equipment that provides handling comfort.
• Low power consumption.
• Longer useful life of the light emitting diode (equivalent to 36.000.000 cycles of 10 seconds).
• It does not use optical filter.
• It does not require forced ventilation, thus avoiding noise emission.
* We noted that the light emitted by the Optilight LD Max is completely contained within the absorption
interval of the photo starter, therefore it’s 100% used, whereas the conventional equipment running on
halogen lamps has non-used wave-length regions.
** The Optilight LD Max doesn’t generate heat since it uses light emitting diodes.
The light conductor is removable, made out of high resistance polymer and of easy maintenance.
The handpiece’s low weight and its anatomic design ensure the dentist more comfortable and practical
handling.
