Monet Laser Curing Light
The Monet Laser Curing Light is designed for dental use with the following features:
- Provides a 1-second cure for depths up to 2.5mm, with an 8mm curing depth capacity.
- Effective for curing composites, luting cements, adhesives, and sealants.
- Reduces shrinkage, debonding, and potential for “soft bottoms.”
- Ensures consistent dispersion for deep cures, allowing bulk fills in 3 seconds.
The purchase includes:
- A compact, handheld laser module.
- Optics for a parallel beam within the device.
- A rotatable head mechanism.
- A convenient battery attachment mechanism.
- A 2-year warranty
The Monet Laser Curing Light, created by the inventor of LED curing technology, represents a groundbreaking advancement as the world's first handheld laser curing light. It features a collimated beam and consistent power, enabling superior bond strength and a faster, deeper, and more reliable cure, achieving up to 2.5 mm in just 1 second.
The evolution of curing technology started with halogen curing lights in the 1980s, which took 40 seconds to cure and were not ergonomic. The invention of LED curing technology by Densen Cao in 1999 reduced curing time significantly, but LED lights still had limitations, such as debonding and soft cures. The introduction of the collimated light beam of the diode laser addressed these issues, leading to the development of the practical and efficient Monet Curing Laser by Densen Cao and his engineering team.
Your Patients are Ready for Lightspeed!
Patients are seeking dental practices with the latest technology for improved care. Incomplete cures can cause pain, sensitivity, and future structural damage. The Monet Laser Curing Light ensures complete cures, eliminating these issues.
Advantages of Laser Curing:
- Confidence: Monet laser curing provides deeper, more reliable cures compared to LED lights, eliminating concerns about incomplete bonds or soft cures.
- Consistency: Unlike LED lights, which have dispersed light patterns and require complex systems to focus the beam, the Monet laser offers consistent energy and intensity for complete polymerization through composites.
- Efficiency: Each click of the Monet laser cures 2.5mm in 1 second, enabling bulk fills in just 3 seconds.
Depth of Cure Guidelines:
- Less than 2.5mm: Single 1-second cure.
- 2.5-5mm: Two 1-second cures.
- More than 5mm: Three 1-second cures.
Usage Tips:
- Avoid curing any spot for more than 3 seconds in rapid succession to control heat.
- For prep areas larger than 8mm, use two overlapping spot cures.
- Use one of the reducing apertures (2, 4, or 6mm) for precision near gingival tissues and to avoid light on these areas.
- A reducing aperture that cuts power by 50% is included for custom control.
Skeptical about a 1-second cure? Many experienced dentists initially shared this doubt. However, independent studies validate the Monet Laser Curing Light's claims.
Independent Study by Reality Now:
- Reality Now conducted tests to measure the depth of composite cured per second by the Monet.
- The results confirm the accuracy of the Monet’s 1-second cure claims, dispelling concerns that it might be just marketing hype
An independent study by Dr. Mateus Rocha, Dr. Richard Price, and Dr. Christiane Maucoski, published in the Journal of Dentistry, found that the Monet Laser Curing Light is highly efficient compared to standard LED lights. The study revealed:
- A 1-second cure with the Monet is equivalent to a 10-second cure with a standard LED light.
- A 3-second cure with the Monet is comparable to a 20-second cure with an LED light.
In direct 1-second curing comparisons, the Monet outperforms all other curing lights on
the market, demonstrating superior speed and efficiency.
Lasers, including those used for soft-tissue and larger laser curing devices, have a long history of safe use in dentistry. Concerns about heat intensity during laser curing are unfounded, as research consistently shows lasers to be safe.
- Tissue damage can occur if pulp tissue temperature rises by 5.5° C. Tests by Clinicians Report showed that the Monet Laser Curing Light remains within safe heat limits even after five seconds, which is two seconds beyond recommended use.
- Proper safety measures are essential with any laser or curing light. The Monet comes with two sets of laser safety goggles, a laser-safe loupe insert, and a paddle to ensure safety for both practitioners and patients.
