Spectrometer Improves Dental Curing

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
DUIVEN, The Netherlands, Oct. 15, 2010 — A spectroradiometrically calibrated USB4000 spectrometer from Ocean Optics is helping dentists to use curing lights more effectively to harden the white resin composites used to fill cavities. The spectrometer is a key component of the Managing Accurate Resin Curing (Marc) system developed by Dr. Richard Price and researchers at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and commercialized through BlueLight analytics inc. Price has used Ocean Optics equipment in his laboratory since 2002 to measure the output from dental curing lights. The results of his research have been...Read full article
