2. Intended Purpose and Safety
2.1 Normal use
Bluephase PowerCure is an LED curing light that
produces blue light. It is used for the polymerization of
light-curing dental materials directly in the oral cavity of
patients. The curing light is intended for use by the
dentist or dental assistant at the dental practice, medical
practice or hospital. Intended use also assumes the
observation of the notes and regulations in these
Instructions for Use. The curing light must only be
operated by trained dental personnel.
The 3sCure program (3,000 mW/cm
2
) must only be used
for direct restorations in the posterior region (Class I & II)
in combination with Tetric PowerFill, Tetric PowerFlow
or Adhese Universal. Do not use the 3sCure program in
cases of deep cavities (caries profunda).
Normal use: light-curing of dental materials
2.2 Indications
With its broadband Polywave® LED technology,
Bluephase PowerCure is suitable for the polymerization
of all light-curing dental materials curing in the
wavelength range of 385 – 515 nm. These materials
include restoratives, bonding agents/adhesives, bases,
liners, fissure sealants, temporaries, as well as luting
materials for brackets and indirect restorations, such as
ceramic inlays.
