description oF the equipment
It has 3 application modes: Continuous, Ramp and Pulsating:
• Continuous: Maximum and continuous mode of light intensity (same luminosity from
start to finish of the polymerization).
• Ramp: Gradual mode of light intensity; it increases gradually.
• Pulsed: Pulsing mode consisting of cycles which oscillate at a fixed frequency.
Advantages offered by Optilight 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 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 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.
Light conductor with fiber optics, rotating, removable and easy to sterilize, with a front
protector of the tip against scratches and the accumulation of undesirable residue. The
reduced weight of the penand its anatomic design ensure that the professional's work is
more comfortable and practical.
Support for the handpiece, which ensures easy access and handling.
physical principle used by the optilight max equipment
The physical principle is the emission of a cold light to polymerize photosensitive
substances, as the equipment is endowed with a cold light emitter (LED) with a wavelength
between 420 and 480nm (blue light), which has an ideal intensity for being integrated with
the canforoquinone.
indication of the equipment
This equipment is exclusively for dental use, having to be employed and handled by a
capacitated person (professional duly regulated, as per the local legislation of the country)
observing the instructions contained in this manual.
The user is obliged to only use the equipment in perfect conditions and protect himself/
herself, patients and third parties against possible hazards.
purpose of the equipment
This equipment is exclusively for dental use, with the objective of polymerizing
photosensitive substances through the emission of blue light.
It was developed to be used in several dental procedures such as: restoring procedures,
bonding braces and activating photoactivated materials as sealers, lining bases.
