Human beings have done a lot of things to improve dentistry in the recent past, thanks to the improvement in dental materials and techniques, which have made dental procedures more effective and better-looking. Among these things, photopolymerization has become very important, especially in the use of composite resins.   

Why use Photopolymerization and Camphorquinone

The usage of light to initiate and propagate a polymerization reaction results in the transformation of a liquid resin into a solid polymer known as photopolymerization; hence, this is mostly used in restorative dentistry for layerings, fillings, and binding materials. For these applications to be successful, the resin must be efficiently and completely cured to guarantee lifespan, strength, and a firm link with the tooth structure.

The most often used photoinitiator in dental composites is camphor quinone because of its strong reaction to blue light, which has a wavelength of about 468 nm. Camphorquinone absorbs the energy and starts the polymerization of the monomers in the resin when it is exposed to this particular light spectrum. 

Benefits

When camphorquinone is applied during photopolymerization, several advantages come with this application technique, such as producing restorations that are very attractive, thus closely resembling natural tooth colors, besides being very exact in terms of color shade; and also enhancing the physical properties of the composite resins leading to increased longevity of repairs.
