The Aurora delivers a curing spot more than twice the size of traditional lights. So it’s terrific for zapping sealants, large occlusal restorations, laminates and crown preps sealed with bonding agents.
To properly illuminate that huge spot, the Aurora delivers approximately twice the total power output of many other lights. Its unique pulsed signal coaxes additional power out of the diode and minimizes heat-generation, while its high-efficiency reflector distributes the light evenly across the curing spot.
A deeper cure
When a Type 2 resin composite was tested for depth-of-cure according to ADA Specification 27 (ISO4049:2000), the Aurora demonstrated a cure 36% deeper than the Optilux 401 … 45% deeper than the Ultra-Lume 5 … 70% deeper than the Flashlite 1401.
Despite these results, we don’t suggest curing in larger increments than your composite manufacturer recommends because depth-of-cure can vary according to your specific composite and the shade. Still, the Aurora’s excellent performance in “depth-of-cure” tests should give you confidence in the thoroughness of polymerization.
60 curing cycles per charge.
Simply plug the Aurora into its charger when you go home in the evening. And next day your device will deliver more curing cycles than you’ll ever need.
And if you forget to recharge it? No problem. Just leave the Aurora connected to its recharging cable, and it functions beautifully as a corded light.
And you can replace its rechargeable battery
Believe it or not, some LED lights have a permanent built-in battery. When the battery dies (and it eventually will), you’ll have to buy an entire new light.
When the Aurora’s battery dies, you simply order a replacement (about $25) and install it yourself. It requires a Philips-head screwdriver and maybe 5 minutes.
Two things we want you to know up front
#1 If you’re looking for a super-fast, “insta-cure” light, the Aurora may not be for you. “Extreme curing” makes us a bit uncomfortable because it can increase stresses in both restoration and tooth. These stresses can encourage white lines, staining and sensitivity. Our objective in doubling the Aurora’s power-output was not to cure everything fast – but to cure everything within that huge curing spot very, very well.
The Aurora comes pre-programmed with the traditional 20 and 40 second intervals you’re familiar with from halogen lights.
#2. The Aurora light comes with a 2-year warranty. That’s one of the longest warranties in the curing light business - but it’s not the 5-year warranty we offer on our other electronic devices.
Three months to see if you agree
The Aurora comes with a 3-month risk-free trial. We ask you to pay for it within a month, but if you later decide it’s not what you’re looking for, simply call us within 3 months. We’ll have the device picked up at our expense, and we’ll give you all your money back, including shipping and handling.
