Light curing is a process commonly used in dentistry and plastics processing. In light curing, a material, such as a dental filler or a plastic adhesive, is cured by exposure to light.

In dentistry, light curing is often used to create dental fillings or aligners made of plastic. The materials are applied to the tooth and then cured using a special lamp. This process ensures that the material hardens and forms a strong bond with the tooth.

In plastics processing, light curing is used to bond plastics, such as plexiglass. This involves applying a special adhesive to the surfaces to be joined and then curing it with a UV lamp. This results in a strong, long-lasting bond between surfaces.

Light curing is a fast and effective process that enables precise curing of materials. It is used in many different industries and has contributed to the ability to produce a wide variety of materials and products.
