In my opinion, “ease-of-use” is one of the most important qualities in a curing light, particularly when multiple professionals in a busy practice use it.

It bothered him to know he either had to use a composite that looked good but didn’t hold up, or a product that offered the strength he wanted but not the esthetics. He always thought his patients deserved both.

Said to release seven times more fluoride in a shorter period than a leading varnish brand, NUPRO white varnish by Dentsply reportedly offers a more patient-pleasing alternative to other brands of varnish. 

As equipment goes, curing lights tend to lean more toward the “workhorse” than “inspirational” variety. But in these two cases, the dentists have found not just quality results, but true ROI in the lights they’ve selected.
