Nov. 4, 2020
In this video, Drs. Pamela Maragliano-Muniz and Howard Glazer discuss their go-to curing lights, the light that was actually launched into the stratosphere to demonstrate durability, and tech specs to keep in mind if you're looking to upgrade.

Welcome to our weekly installment of “What do you use for ...” videos.

Without curing lights, dentists would be unable to perform most restorative dentistry procedures. Luckily, technology has come a long way since the plug-in, halogen light. Pamela Maragliano-Muniz, DMD, and Howard Glazer, DDS, discuss their favorite curing lights, as well as various functions and tech specs featured by lights on the market today.
