In this article, we will introduce the basic science of how oral surgery lights are used in dental practice. There are several different light sources used throughout the practice and all of them have certain purposes and characteristics.
During the surgery, lighting has two functions: task lighting and ambient lighting. Ideally, for the rest of the practice, brightness should still be a consideration, depending on the environment. Understanding the possibilities and solutions is critical to achieving the best results for lighting and the improvements it brings.

As we age, our vision will gradually deteriorate, which means our eyes need more light to see the same degree.

All of this can be prevented with optimal illumination settings to minimize strain risk while ensuring the most favorable patient’s oral vision.
