Observe the Instructions for Use of the material
applied when selecting the curing time and intensity.
The curing recommendations for composite materials
apply to all shades and, if not mentioned otherwise in
the Instructions for Use, to a maximum layer thickness
of max. 2 mm. Generally, these re commendations apply
to situations where the emission window of the light
guide 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 approx. 11 mm, the effective light
output is reduced by approx. 50%. In this case, the
recommended curing time has to be doubled.
