Abstract

The paper reviews the current literature concerning the available light sources used for dental composite polymerization. Among the available curing devices the most popular are halogen lamps, plasma lamps, diode based lamps (LED) and argon lasers. Each of these groups is characterized by distinct quality of light, which determines the correct course of curing of composite materials. The paper discusses advantages and disadvantages of devices representing all groups of lamps.

Streszczenie

Proces utwardzania światłem zrewolucjonizował stomatologię w sensie praktycznym i naukowym. Z wyjątkiem procedury łączenia, prawdopodobnie nie istnieje żadna inna procedura, która sprzyjałaby coraz łatwiejszemu, wydajniejszemu i bardziej produktywnemu działaniu z zakresu stomatologii praktycznej. Jak większość znaczących osiągnięć w tej dziedzinie, stale udoskonalana technika stosowania procedury utwardzania światłem w stomatologii była rezultatem nowatorskich zastosowań wdrażanych do procesu leczenia klinicznego. W pracy na podstawie piśmiennictwa przedstawiono informacje o podstawowych źródłach światła stosowanych w stomatologii do polimeryzacji materiałów złożonych. Opierając się na badaniach nad kinetyką skurczu polimeryzacyjnego lampą, stosowano lampy polimeryzacyjne, które należy podzielić na 4 grupy – lampy halogenowe, ksenonowe, półprzewodnikowe i lasery argonowe. Każda z tych grup ma charakterystyczne właściwości dotyczące jakości emitowanego światła, warunkujące poprawny przebieg utwardzania materiału złożonego. Skuteczność polimeryzacji zachodzącej w materiale światłoutwardzalnym zależy m.in. od częstotliwości i intensywności użytego światła. Największy procent spolimeryzowanych cząsteczek monomeru powstaje przy długości światła 450–490 nm, osiągając maksimum pracy przy 468 nm. W artykule opisano zalety i wady urządzeń reprezentujących wymienione grupy.
