We have an older lamp in the Hygiene room, but I don't remember the
name. It has a light meter (red, yellow, green) on it, but it hasn't the
output of the 501. When my hygienist is doing small fillings and
sealants, I have her blast the teeth for a good 2 minutes at the end to
be sure everything is cured.

Sealant is SealRite, composites are
Z-250 (3M),
Grandio (VOCO),
Supreme (3M, for anteriors),
Esthetilite (Danville, I think, microfil, also for anteriors. Bought
that at the Ray Berlotti lecture last Oct).

Flowables are 3M hybrid, and
Demark (don't remember the company  name, it's Buddy Mopper's stuff;it's
supposed to be more radioopaque than the regular flowables).

Occlusal (Mopper's company) is used when I don't like the finish on that
sufface and is easily polishable (microfil, I think).

Not satisfied with the Supreme in the front, as when I polish it with
the Soflex disks, there are always some small holes in the surface. So I
re-etch and put Kerr FlowLine over it. That is another hybrid. I have
had to do the same in the posterior, when I feel joints between the
tooth and the composite.

Use the rings in the posterior, but it's hit and miss. I'm gonna try the
triclip and see what happens with that.

Thanks for the Info

Thanks for this, Alex.

I am still a bit squeamish about those. I realize there are
comparatively few composites that cannot bu fully cured by LED, but
still...

Thanks, though, I had't really considered it. I'll inquire.

I was checking recently very simple LED for 100 $ It was working very good
!!!

That is excellent. I will look at that next week.

Thanks, Charlie
