- Designed to facilitate the "tack curing" technique, which is a critical step in the placement of indirect restorations like veneers, inlays, and onlays
Uses
- Veneer and Crown Seating: Used to briefly light-cure the margins of a restoration to "tack" it into place, allowing for easy removal of excess cement before the final full cure
- Indirect Restorations: Ideal for any procedure requiring a precise, short burst of light to stabilize a restoration
Features
- Precision Aperture: Unlike standard light guides that disperse light broadly, this lens features a restricted opening to deliver a small, concentrated spot of light
- Snap-On Compatibility: Designed to fit securely onto the standard Demi Pro Curing Tip (PST-KERR-37371)
- Consistent Output: Works with the Demi Pro handpiece to maintain a collimated, broad-spectrum beam even through the specialized lens
Benefits
- Simplified Cleanup: By tacking the restoration in the center or at specific points, the surrounding uncured cement remains soft and can be easily peeled away, saving significant clinical time
- Enhanced Control: The small spot size prevents the premature curing of all the cement, reducing the risk of difficult-to-remove hardened excess at the margins
- Versatile Integration: Allows clinicians to quickly switch between tacking and full curing without needing a separate device
