Operation - Ivoclar Vivadent Bluephase style Mode D'emploi

Operation

Disinfect contaminated surfaces of the curing light as
well as light probes and anti-glare cones before each
use. Furthermore, make sure that the stipulated light
intensity permits adequate polymerization. For that
p urpose, check the light probe for contamination and
damage as well as the light intensity at regular intervals.
Selecting the curing time
The curing time can be individually set using the time
selection button. Users may choose between 10, 15, 20
and 30 seconds.
Observe the Instructions for Use of the material applied
when selecting the curing time. The curing recommenda-
tions for composite materials apply to all shades and, if
not mentioned otherwise in the Instructions for Use, to a
maximum layer thickness of 2 mm. Generally, these
Curing times
Restorative materials
Indirect restorations /
cementation materials
Adhesives

Miscellaneous
1) Applies to a maximum layer thickness of 2 mm and provided that the Instructions for Use of
the respective material do not state any other recommendation (might be the case e.g. with
dentin shades)
2) Applies to a maximum layer thickness of 4 mm and provided that the Instructions for Use of
the respective material do not state any other recommendation (might be the case e.g. with
dentin shades)

re c ommendations apply to situations where the emission
window of the light probe is placed directly over the
material to be polymerized. Increasing the distance
between the light source and the material will require
the curing time to be extended accordingly. For instance,
if the distance to the material is 9 mm, the effective light
output is reduced by approx. 50%. In this case, the
w recommended curing time has to be doubled.

4) Applies to light-curing (use of the base past only)
5) Applies to dual-curing
