Garrison Dental Solutions’ latest breakthrough in light curing technology—the Loop™ Curing Light—features a revolutionary closed-loop algorithm that dynamically adjusts light output to deliver the exact energy needed for a perfect cure everytime.
The Spring Lake, Michigan company announced the launch today, adding that this state-of-the-art curing light is designed to bring groundbreaking precision and consistency to restorative dentistry, and to enhance clinician confidence with every cure.
Loop ensures that the right dose of energy reaches the tooth, minimizing the risk of under-curing or over-curing, according to Garrison Dental Solutions. By continuously measuring and adjusting power output more than 500 times per second, the device eliminates guesswork and allows for consistent curing across all restoration surfaces, regardless of hand positioning or distance.
Loop offers multiple modes, including Direct Restorative Mode with 3 power levels (1,000, 2,000, and 3,000 mW/cm²) for varied curing times and a specialized Tack Mode for securing materials. The built-in LED display reportedly provides intuitive real-time feedback, enabling seamless navigation through settings while confirming selected modes and remaining cure time at a glance. This streamlined control allows clinicians to work with accuracy and efficiency.
The Loop Curing Light is equipped with a broad-spectrum dual-wavelength LED system designed to ensure consistent spectral beam homogeneity. This guarantees thorough activation of all photo initiators, covering a wavelength range from 390nm to 480nm, regardless of the material being cured. The expansive 9.7mm lens diameter and real-time adjustments maintain uniform irradiance even as the distance between the light and tooth surface varies, resulting in an effective beam diameter of 13mm at 10 mm distance from the target.
Additionally, this curing light simplifies maintenance with a self-calibration feature. Daily lens checks and monthly full calibration cycles ensure optimal performance, preventing issues such as lens debris or LED degradation, the company says. The Loop system includes a calibration and charging base, protective sleeves, and other accessories, backed by a 3-year limited warranty.
