This visible-light approach enables fast and spatially controlled polymerization while avoiding the drawbacks of conventional methods (thermal heating, UV synthesis), such as the use of toxic initiators like AIBN and the need for UV shielding. 1 Department of Conservative Dentistry, School of Dentistry, Pusan National University, Yangsan, Korea. The ultrafast light source is based on a diode laser with segmented metallisation to realise a wave-guide integrated. entistry benefit from laser technology, including surgery, conservative care, polymerization, tooth whitening, and photodynamic therapy. The experimental results are analyzed with a newly developed 2PP model. Even with low pulse peak. Diode laser (445 nm) achieved better polymerization efficiency at the same fluence compared to the LED unit at 3-mm depth, implying a better mechanical behavior and potential improved adhesion of the luting material to dentin.
