Howdy,

I am a civilian, but have a question that I am sure many of
your can answer for me:

What type of light is used to catalyze the sealant that is
sometimes used on youngster's molars? That is, is it UV,
visible light, etc?

Very sincere thanks,

A long time ago in a galaxy far away it used to be UV. Nowadays all
curing lights emit visible light.

Regards,
George

Visible blue light.
Don't know the wavelength range.

UV used to be used in the 'old' days.

Visible blue light range is 440-490 nm. 475 nm is often used as a
general reference to blue light.
