Photopolymerization of composite resins

Halogen lamps represents the most often used light source for composite photopolymerization. Many attempts have been made with continuous Ar-laser, XeCl pulsed laser and plasma light. All of them had some disadvantages which limited their use. At present highly avaiable light emitting blue diodes enables satisfying degree of conversion and lower polymerization shrinkage which are preconditons for succesful general use of LED based curing units.
