5 Questions
The argon laser uses camphoroquinone as a photoinitiator.
False
The argon laser produces high intensity ultraviolet light to initiate photopolymerization of light-cured dental restorative materials.
False
The argon laser curing increases the temperature at the level of the dental pulp more than conventional quartz tungsten halogen lamp units.
False
Argon laser radiation is able to alter the surface chemistry of only enamel, but not root surface dentine.
False
The argon laser reduces the probability of recurrent caries and increases the curing time of light-cured dental restorative materials.
False
This quiz covers the properties and effects of argon laser curing on dental restorative materials, including the role of camphoroquinone and the impact on dental pulp temperature. It also explores the laser's influence on enamel and dentine surface chemistry.
