Knowledge, Perception, and Practices Regarding the Properties and Hazardous Effects of Blue Light Emitted from Composite Curing Units: A Questionnaire Study among Dental Practitioners
Dental practitioners have poor knowledge regarding the blue light and its related hazardous effects. Though most of the participants believe that the use of goggles is essential for completely blocking blue light hazard, only 13.6% use protective eyewear. This study highlights the need to enhance awareness regarding the potential hazardous effects of blue light.
