Diode laser company, AMD Lasers, Inc., has improved its Monet Curing Laser. The first handheld laser for curing, according to the company, the device can achieve curing in 1 second. The device provides an advancement on the light curing device that has become ubiquitous in dental practices. 

However, the light curing process generally is still hampered by lengthy times to cure and inconsistent light intensity. These limitations prompted improvement in the company’s laser. The new Monet Curing Laser has addressed concerns with a laser that allows for curing of up to 4mm of most composites in 1 second, reduced amount of conversion rate and shrinking, a collimated beam, and other attributes. 

"Practitioners have been overwhelmed by the features of Monet vs. LED curing lights since we introduced the Monet Curing Laser with a 3-second cure in February 2021. Many of them do not believe the 1-second cure until they tried the Monet. Internal and independent research has proven that Monet can cure 3-4 mm depths of composites in 1 second. Upgrading from 3 seconds to 1 second provides many benefits to dental procedures beyond the product value which is very competitive to top LED curing lights in the market." said, Dr. Densen Cao, PhD, president of AMD. "The Monet Curing Laser is leading the revolution of dental curing and provides easier, faster, and better curing in dental procedures, not only saving operating time but also ensures quality results for dental practitioners."
