Ultradent adds lenses for VALO Grand

Ultradent Products has introduced six new lenses to the VALO Grand curing lights. The company says the addition of the additional accessories “allows clinicians to use their VALO Grand light in increasingly nuanced ways to provide optimal care for their patients”.

The new lenses are divided into two categories: Two Curing Lenses and four Diagnostic Lenses.

Curing Lenses:

• PointCure lens: creates a 2.5mm diameter curing area to aid in position and tack curing
• ProxiCure ball lens: holds matrix against contact while curing composite for Class II restorations

Diagnostic Lenses:

• Interproximal lens: provides a focused 1mm white light to help view interproximal caries
• TransLume lens: aids in detection of cracks and defects in a tooth or prostheses
• Black Light lens: fluoresces chemicals in various dental materials
• White Light lens: provides a pure natural light for accurate shade matching

VALO Grand curing lights use a custom, multi-wavelength light emitting diode (LED) for producing high intensity light at 385–515nm through an optimally collimated beam capable of polymerizing all light-cured dental materials including porcelain and underlying resin cements.

The VALO Grand light features a slim and ergonomically shaped 12mm lens that is said to allow “unprecedented access to all restoration sites”.
