Effect of the Design and Exposure Mode of Different Multiple-Peak Light-Curing Units on Light Emission, Temperature Rise, and Intraoral Access.
The LCUs tested emit light in the blue and violet spectra, characterizing them as multiple peaks. The temperature increases in the produced pulp remained within safe thermal limits ( 2.5°C), although standard-mode exposures produced higher pulp temperature rises. Bluephase G2 created higher angulation at 25 mm of interincisal mouth opening. The Quazar LCU produced a light output that was comparable to that from leading LCUs.
