Descriptor fotoiniciadores dentales
Scope note: Compuestos químicos utilizados para iniciar la polimerización de resinas dentales por el empleo de LUCES FRAGUANTES DENTALES. Absorbe la luz UV y sufre descomposición en radicales libres que inician un proceso de polimerización de las resinas en la mezcla. Cada uno de los fotoiniciadores tiene un espectro de emisión e intensidad óptimas para un fraguado apropiado de los materiales dentales.

Scope note: Chemical compound used to initiate polymerization of dental resins by the use of DENTAL CURING LIGHTS. It absorbs UV light and undergoes decomposition into free radicals that initiate polymerization process of the resins in the mix. Each photoinitiator has optimum emission spectrum and intensity for proper curing of dental materials.
