FAQs

  • What is new: 3M™ Elipar™ DeepCure−S LED Curing Light vs. predecessors 3M™ Elipar™ S10 LED Curing Light and 3M™ Elipar™ LED Curing Light?

    Optics:

    • The optics have been changed significantly (added lens, changed reflector geometry, additional reflective element between lens and light guide) to achieve the homogeneous and collimated beam.
    • The new optics lead to a more efficient usage of the battery, resulting in a longer battery runtime.

    Power output:

    • 1.470 mW/cm2 (−10%/+20%) vs. 1.200 mW/cm2 (−10%/+20%)

    Handpiece:

    • New printing/guidance symbols for more information, easier usage, e.g., tack curingLight guide.
    • Black coating to reduce stray light and prevent glare.
    • Optimized light guide tip angle and tip height for better intraoral handling.

    Elipar DeepCure-S LED Curing Light has a new light guide design that significantly reduces the opening angle required to reach a posterior restoration. This results in improved patient comfort and easier handling for the operator.

    Charging Base:

    • The top part of the housing is made of a new material, which makes it more resistant against disinfecting agents.
    • New design/printing to make available functions more visible to the operator.
  • How was the collimated and homogeneous beam realized?

    The geometrically optimized combination of the three elements leads to the collimated and homogeneous beam profile:

    • LED
    • lens
    • diamond−turned reflector Each component was specially designed to work best in combination with the other involved components, and the combination of all elements leads to the technical performance.
  • Can the new black light guide be used with the 3M™ Elipar™ S10 LED Curing Light?

    3M™ Elipar™ DeepCure−S LED Curing Light: The light guide is not interchangeable with Elipar S10 LED Curing Light and vice versa (incompatible due to construction differences).

  • Can I use my old Elipar S10 LED Curing Light charging station to charge the new Elipar DeepCure−S LED Curing Light?

    Yes.

  • Can I use the light intensity meter in my old Elipar S10 LED Curing Light charging station to measure the intensity/output of the new Elipar DeepCure−S LED Curing Light?

    No. This will result in erroneous readings. Only the light intensity meter in the charging station of the new Elipar DeepCure−S LED Curing Light should be used to test the new Elipar DeepCure−S LED Curing Light.

  • Can I use the light intensity meter of the new Elipar DeepCure−S LED Curing Light charging station to measure the intensity/output of my old Elipar S10 LED Curing Light charging station?

    No. This would give incorrect test results. The included light intensity meter is specifically calibrated for the Elipar DeepCure−S LED Curing Light.

  • Can I reduce the curing time with the new curing light?

    Research has shown that shorter curing times may lead to very inconsistent results.

  • Can I place thicker increments of my existing composite with the new curing light?

    No. While the new light helps assure more even and efficient curing, do not place thicker increments. Please follow the incremental thickness recommendations provided by the manufacturer of the restorative.

  • Do I have to be concerned about the increased intensity and resulting heat development when using the new curing light?

    All high−intensity curing lights (over 1.100 mW/cm2) cause a certain amount of heat.

    In the past, numerous in vivo studies have evaluated the response of the pulp and other dental tissues to thermal irritation and the temperature at which thermal damage is initiated and reported different results. This indicates that the range of safe temperatures in dental tissues, particularly the dental pulp, is actually not known.

    To address concerns of potential thermal irritation of the pulp, the following two techniques will manage heat development during polymerization:

    • Polymerization with external cooling from an air flow.
    • Polymerization at intermittent intervals (e.g., 2 exposures lasting 10 seconds each instead of 1 exposure lasting 20 seconds) For further information on thermal irritation.
  • Can I use my fingernail or the back of my hand to assess the heat generation of the curing light?

    Do not test method as a fingernail or the back of a hand does not have the same properties or thickness of a tooth. The dense areas of nerve endings make the fingers extremely sensitive to heat, whereas the pulp is highly vascularized and contains a regulatory system for heat distribution in teeth, capable of dissipating external thermal stimuli.

  • What battery is included?

    3M™ Elipar™ DeepCure−S LED Curing Light features a long−life, high−performance Li−ion battery.

  • How long does it take to (re)charge the battery?

    Elipar DeepCure−S LED Curing Light: 90 min. (charging station)

  • How long does a single charge last?

    Battery runtime is approximately 120 min. with constant light output regardless of battery charge (720 x 10 sec.).

  • What has allowed the battery runtime to double with the new light?

    The longer battery runtime could be realized due to the use of the latest LED generation in combination with the newly developed, highly effective optics. This new optic allows a higher efficacy, although a higher energy output was realized.

  • Can I replace the battery myself?

    Yes. The Elipar DeepCure−S LED Curing Light has easy, tool−free battery exchange.

  • Can the new black light guide be purchased separately?

    Yes. The light guide is available as an accessory.

  • Are other light guide sizes available?

    No. Currently, 3M™ Elipar™ DeepCure−S LED Curing Light is marketed with a 10mm light guide only.

  • What is the tack cure function?

    Quite a few dental procedures require a very short initial cure (or "tack cure") at some point of the processing before the final curing. Examples are the excess removal of light−curing cements (e.g., 3M™ RelyX™ Unicem Self−Adhesive Resin Cement) or the pre−cure step of 3M™ Protemp™ Crown Temporization Material.

    Currently, tack curing is done by switching on the curing light and switching it off again after a short period of time (1 - 5 seconds). This procedure is not very convenient in handling and does not deliver reproducible tack cure times.

    With the unique tack cure function, Elipar DeepCure−S LED Curing Light produces a reproducible short light pulse by simply keeping the start button pressed. The tack cure function makes excess removal of light curing cements easier and more predictable.

  • I like the fan−free silence. Can the beeps also be switched off?

    Yes. Elipar DeepCure−S LED Curing Light offers a switch−off function for the beeps. This is how it works: Put the handpiece in sleep mode, e.g., by setting it in the charger. Take the device from the charger: press first the TIME button, then the START button. The beeps are now switched off. The acoustical signals can be reactivated by following the same procedure.

  • How can I clean and disinfect the device?

    Clean all components with a soft cloth and, if necessary, a mild cleaning agent (e.g., dishwashing detergent). Solvents or abrasive cleaners can damage the components. Cleaning agents must not enter the device.

    To disinfect all components, spray the disinfectant on a towel and use it to disinfect the unit. Do NOT spray the disinfectant directly on the device.

  • How can I clean and disinfect the light guide?

    The fiber−optic glass light guide is autoclavable.

  • Can I use a spray disinfectant on the charging station?

    Cleaning agents must not enter the unit! To disinfect all components, spray the disinfectant on a towel and use it to disinfect the unit. Do not spray the disinfectant directly on the device. Disinfectant agents must not enter the unit! Dry residual disinfectants on the device with a soft and fluff−free cloth, as they damage the plastic components.

    If necessary, ask the manufacturer of the disinfectant if its constant use will damage the plastic components.

  • May I put the light guide in a combined washer/disinfector machine?

    Yes. Details on automized cleaning and disinfection are available from the 3M Service Center.

  • What are the dangers of disinfecting the light guide with only a wipe and not sterilizing with autoclave and steam?

    There is no way to control the variability between individuals using a wipe to disinfect a light guide. The only sure way to disinfect the light guide is sterilizing with autoclave and steam.

  • Can I sterilize the orange glare shield?

    No. Only wipe disinfection is allowed for the glare shield. See Instructions for Use for details.

  • Can I use a barrier sleeve with 3M™ Elipar™ DeepCure−S LED Curing Light?

    Elipar DeepCure−S LED Curing Light has no vents that might be blocked by a barrier sleeve. Therefore, they can be used with a barrier sleeve (not offered by 3M). Make sure the sleeve is not covering the tip of the light guide, as this would diminish the intensity. Furthermore, the sleeve should be removed before placing the light guide in the charger to make sure the pins in the charger are contacting the battery properly. The instructed disinfection/sterilization guidelines must be followed.

  • Why don't you offer a poly wave device?

    Most often used initiator system is camphorquinone, which works best with the wavelength that most devices provide (450 nm). The issue with poly wavelength systems is that the beam profile is very inhomogeneous, leading to very inconsistent/hard−to−predict curing results (leading to large standard deviations). Single wavelength LED delivers more consistent/predictable curing results even for materials using other photoinitiators e.g.
