CHICAGO, IL, USA: The FUSION curing light, available from DentLight, is much more than just a curing light. In fact, it is so versatile that the Richardson, Texas-based supplier refers to it as a “Dental Oral Exam System.” As Dr. Richard Liu, president of DentLight, explained, in addition to its curing functions, the FUSION can also be used for caries and composite detection, for extra magnification illumination, and for the detection of oral cancer.

And as a curing light it’s not bad either.

Liu, who spoke with Dental Tribune during an interview recently at the Midwinter Meeting, said the light allows a composite to cure four times faster than other lights, and its double depth penetration means that is the best light for bulk curing.

“This just blows everything else on the market away,” Liu said. “There isn’t anything else like it on the market.” He said the light adds to profitability for the dentist, offers increased marketability potential for new patients — and it saves lives.

Scott Mahnken, a dental industry consultant who works with DentLight, is sold too. He said that the light means less clutter in the dental office, more efficiency and increased revenue.

“FUSION offers the fastest ROI of any product I have seen,” Mahnken told Dental Tribune.

Several other innovative lighting solutions are also available from DentLight. The Nano loupe light offers focused power with three digital brightness levels. It allows the dentist to see caries, and even helps improve posture.

And for eye protection, a Laser Filter converts a regular magnifying loupe into a laser loupe.
