Abstrakt: Recent advances in resin adhesives and restorative materials, as well as an increased demand for esthetics, have stimulated a great increase in the use of resin-based composites. However, despite the remarkable developments in the technology of the restorative resins, clinical failures of resin restorations are still reported due to polymerization shrinkage and low Depth of Cure of restorative materials during curing procedure by a dental light curing unit which in turn causes degradation, substance loss, bulk fracture, discoloration with marginal staining of restoration. Thus curing lights are an integral part of daily practice in restorative dentistry. This review is principally focused on assessing the clinical relevance of curing systems available; in terms of their selection and maintenance in dental operatory; thus optimizing their clinical performance.
