State of the intensity of the light power of the light-curing lamps of the faculty of dentistry clinic of the University of Cuenca, school year 2021-2022

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the intensity light power and integrity active part curing lights Faculty Dentistry Clinic University Cuenca in March-August 2022 term. Lack knowledge light-curing units, leads dentists purchase low-quality equipment, thinking that they all work with same efficiency, compromising long-term success restorations. Therefore, it is important know ideal characteristics a lamp. Materials methods: This descriptive observational whose sample made up 72 lamps assigned by clinic each student who attending clinic. For development project, radiometer used. Results: Of analyzed, 54 (75%) are LED devices correspond students. which, 47 (87.03%) effective because have greater than 800 ????????/????????2. On other hand, 18 (25%) cabin group, case there 15 halogen (83.33%) 3 (16.67%). (20%) effective, while 1 (33.33%) device at Conclusion: An adequate polymerization crucial obtain good mechanical physical properties excellent clinical results material.
