  • Title: [Spotlight on light].
    Author: Hokwerda O, Wouters JA.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Tandheelkd; 2005 Jun; 112(6):225-30. PubMed ID: 15981695.
    Abstract:
    An adequate perception is essential for a dentist because details are often just or just not visible. A proper use of light in the oral cavity (mouth of the patient), around the mouth and in the rest of the oral surgery, together with the use of light colours ought to make possible an optimal perception and colour matching. This can also prevent tiring adaptation of the eyes to too strong varying levels of light. Principles of a proper use of light and colours are described.
