Optical Hazard Evaluation of Dental Curing Lights, August-November 1985.
Abstract
The purpose of this report is to evaluate potential ocular hazards associated with the use of dental curing lights and to make recommendations to eliminate exposure of personnel to hazardous levels of optical radiation. Dental curing lights can be considered nonhazardous under normal operating conditions for restorative dentistry. The operator may wish to reduce specularly or diffusely reflected luminances by using colored/tinted eyewear or by attaching colored/tinted clip-on plastic shields to the tip of the handheld gun.
