Operation; Selecting The Curing Time - Ivoclar Vivadent BluephaseN M Mode D'emploi

4. Operation

Disinfect contaminated surfaces of the curing light as
well as the light probe and anti-glare cone before each
use. Furthermore, make sure that the light output emit-
ted by the curing light permits adequate polymerization.
For that purpose, inspect the light probe for contami-
nation and damage and check the light intensity at
regular intervals (e.g. with the Ivoclar Vivadent radio-
meter "Bluephase Meter").

Selecting the curing time

The curing time can be
individually set using the time
selection button. You may
choose between 10, 15 and
20 seconds.

Observe the Instructions for Use of the material applied
when selecting the curing time. The curing recommenda-
tions for composite materials apply to all shades and, if
not mentioned otherwise in the Instructions for Use of
the relevant material, to a maximum layer thickness of
2 mm. Generally, these recommendations apply to
situations where the emission window of the light probe
is placed directly over the material to be polymerized.
Increasing the distance between the light source and the
material will require the curing time to be extended
accordingly. For instance, if the distance to the material
is 9 mm, the effective light output is reduced by approx.
50%. In this case, the recommended curing time has to
be doubled.
