Translume
Curing or
Diagnostic Aid
Modes
Intended to aid the VALO X curing light in visualization by providing
longer wavelength light to transilluminate teeth and dental prostheses.
VALO X Accessories
Preparation
• Position accessory lens near the VALO X curing light lens allowing the magnet to snap the accessory lens into
place.
Use – PointCure Lens
• NOTE: The PointCure Lens concentrates the light into a 2.5 mm aperture. This is ideal for point curing
(tacking) veneers and all porcelain crowns.
• Point curing (tacking) translucent prosthesis: Point cure prosthesis according to manufacturer guidelines of
the luting material, material thickness, shade, and opacity of material, and professional judgement. Clean up
the uncured excess luting material around the margins, remove the accessory, then cure the entire
restoration. Recommendation: Veneer - point cure the facial/buccal center of prosthesis. Crown - point cure
facial/buccal and lingual center of prosthesis.
Use – ProxiCure Ball Lens
• Supports the matrix and aids in convex proximal contact before and during partial light polymerization. Avoid
entrapping lens in polymerized material. Remove accessory and cure the entire restoration.
Recommendation: Determine mode and time as per composite manufacturer’s instructions.
Use – TransLume Lens
• Neon colored lens, which looks like the PointCure Lens, provides longer wavelength light to transilluminate
the teeth to aid in visualization of cracks, fractures, defects, etc. Recommendation: Use the Diagnostic Aid
Mode - White, which gives 60 seconds of illumination.
Use – Diffuser Lens - Diagnostic Aid mode
• Black Light Mode - Use to aid in visualization of fluorescent particles in various dental resins. Gives 60
seconds of illumination.
• White Light Mode - Visual aid for whenever the dental professional may need a source of natural light, e.g.,
determining shade. Gives 60 seconds of illumination.
Use – Interproximal Lens
• Transillumination of teeth: use to aid in visualization of fractures, cracks, or defects in teeth by illuminating
the teeth from the lingual and observing shadows. Recommendation: Use the Diagnostic Aid Mode - White,
which gives 60 seconds of illumination.
Powering the VALO X Curing Light
• Charging Batteries/Cells - Remove cap at the base of the curing light with a counter-clockwise turn. Insert
dead battery/cells in the provide Ultradent VALO Battery Charging Cradle with medical grade 12VDC AC
power adapter in the orientation shown in the cradle. Battery/cells will be fully charged in 1–2 hours.
