00.2 Description of the apparatus
The Silverlight is an apparatus for polymerizing photo-hardening composites. It uses a source of light
consisting of a very high-efficiency monochromatic LED (wavelength comprised between
440 and 480 nm).
The light emitted by the LED is directed to the treatment area by means a fiber optic.
The equipment consists of a charging unit and a handpiece powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
The Silverlight can be used to operate in either of two emission modes:
-
Constant intensity of emission -
FAST
(cycle lasting 10 seconds);
-
Gradual intensity of emission -
SLOW RISE
(cycle lasting 20 seconds).
00.3 Intended use
The Silverlight device is a dental curing light unit intended for use in the oral cavity for the polymerization
of photo-hardening dental materials that are activated in the 440 – 480 nm. wavelength range.
IMPORTANT:
Although most dental composite materials are activated within this wavelength range, in case of
uncertainty consult the manufacturer’s composite specifications
