Light curing refers to the method by which certain dental materials are tranformed from a liquid or gel form to a solid. Dental composites (tooth colored restorations) cavity liners, and sealants can all be light cured. They start out in a fluid or semi-fluid state, and when the dentist has placed the material as desired, a very bright blue light (called a curing light) is shined on the material for a few brief seconds. The material immediately is tranformed into a solid immovable state. This method has been in widespread use throughout dentistry for more than 30 years.
