  • Title: An evaluation of optical radiation emissions from dental visible photopolymerization devices.
    Author: Ellingson OL, Landry RJ, Bostrom RG.
    Journal: J Am Dent Assoc; 1986 Jan; 112(1):67-70. PubMed ID: 3455997.
    Abstract:
    Five devices were tested for the amount of optical radiation they emitted. Recommended values can be exceeded with a workload of 17 to 81 applications in any 167-minute period. Some procedures, such as close viewing distances, direct view applications, and treating the anterior teeth may increase the exposure to the user.
