Clinical Tips
- The 3-second cure time is great when placing sealants for children.
- Make sure the tip is perfectly aligned for the 3 seconds to get a high power, 3-second cure.
- Mount the charging base on the top so that you can pick it up with one hand.
- Make sure the orange shield is locked on securely.
- Use the clear plastic barrier sleeve. It prevents cross contamination and doesn’t affect curing.
