Is the bioclear light a pulse light. I don't want it getting too hot is the reason I ask. I couldn't find any info on it to say one way or another and I know that 5 sec LED lights can heat up without the pulse.
Thank you.

DR. CLARK'S RESPONSE:
Dear Ryan,
You have a very good question.
While I did research and lecturing for CRA I learned an awful lot about curing lights.
- Pulsed and ramped curing have never been shown to have any clinical significance in their attempt to reduce stress of curing.
- There is stress from asymmetrical curing, that's why the bioclear method encourages simultaneous curing from buccal and lingual with 2 lights.
- The Bioclear /Vector light does not get hot at the tip after 5 seconds. HOWEVER all rapid cure lights have a tremendous photon transfer to the tooth, that's why hey cure so fast. All of these rapid cure lights can create heat in the tooth because so many photons are hitting the tooth at once. The recommendation that we gave at the CRA lectures was to begin to air cool or air suction after 3 or 4 seconds to keep the tooth cool We have several thousand doctors who are doing the Bioclear method and post operative sensitivity is very low. If we were heating the pulp xcessively, we would be seeing problems, and we are not.
Warm regards,
David
