Traditional light-cured dental restoratives are activated by LED blue light at around 480 nm wavelength. These materials have a noticeably yellow hue that is not a problem for the majority of restorative work as natural tooth colours are also slightly yellow. But for cosmetic restorations it can be a significant factor. Newer materials are available which have a more neutral colour when cured, but they require light with a shorter wavelength to activate curing. For dentists working with both types of materials, two different curing lights are therefore necessary.

The new Beyond II Mini Curing Light from Beyond Technology is the solution to this problem. Lightweight and cordless, it provides high-intensity LED curing at both the 380-420 nm wavelengths and the longer 470-500 nm range. The Beyond II can effectively cure any light-initiated compound on the market today and is beautifully designed and attractively priced.
