How many types of curing light guides are there for dental curing lights?
There are many types of light guides for curing lights, mainly two types. One is a glass light guide, characterized by its small tip, preferred by some doctors.
The other is a metal light guide, characterized by its metal material.
Which one is better? A glass light guide is very likely to fail to emit blue light if dropped, as the internal glass may shatter. A metal light guide, being metal, is more durable and less prone to breakage.
In summary, from an economic perspective, metal light guides offer better value and durability.
