What is a composite filter and How is DentLight’s different?

June 24, 2011

Composite filter helps normal restorative procedures in preventing composite cures during prep and filling before final cures.

The filter first needs to have sufficient isolation of blue wavelength light to prevent composite cured while applying the adhesive or packing the box.

Second is convenience of use in that it is easy to move in and out of filtering position for normal and composite procedures without fighting with loupes lenses (e.g. rotating filter).

Third is contamination when the gloves do not contaminate the loupe and light.

DentLight’s composite filter is custom designed and molded to achieve all the above characteristics. It comes with three parts assembled:

  • Snap-on clip to headlight so that the filter can be taken in or out of the light in a snap
  • Orange filter to block blue light
  • Filter flip tool that can easily touch set filter into preset angels/positions while preventing any contamination on the filter, light or loupe.

The Filter flip tool can be easily slide out and autoclaved for disinfection.

No more fighting with the filter loose, screw, bump with lens and contamination.
