Abstract
Light emitting dental composites are fluorescing composite resins that are produced by combining one or more dental composites, such as, conventional dental composites, glass ionomer cements, resin modified glass ionomers, and/or bioactive dental composites, in either bulk fill form or flowable form, with a light energized and light emitting strontium aluminate or similar compound to form a light emitting dental composite. The light emitting dental composite makes composite resins easily identifiable when activated by a UV light source, allowing for use preferably with temporary placement, visualization, and/or removal of orthodontic attachments and restorative dentistry.
