High-Irradiance Light Curing, Depth of Cure, and Pulpal Temperature
Study: Effect of High-Irradiance Light Curing on Exposure Times and Pulpal Temperature of Adequately Polymerized Composite

Journal: Dental Materials Journal 2020; 39(6): 976–983
Publication Date: December 2020
Product Used: Cybird™ XD
Summary: This in vitro study compared high-irradiance curing lights, including Cybird™ XD, Valo, S.P.E.C. 3 LED, and Flashmax P3. The study found that the manufacturer-recommended short exposure times did not adequately polymerize the tested composite at a 2 mm depth. Under the study protocol, Cybird™ XD achieved adequate polymerization at 2 mm after 9 seconds. The pulpal temperature increase at this experimental exposure time remained below the threshold associated with possible pulpal injury.
Result Highlight: Cybird™ XD achieved adequate 2 mm polymerization at 9 seconds in this study, with pulpal temperature increase remaining below the cited safety threshold.
Dental Radiometer Accuracy Study

Editor: Fabian Huettig, Eberhard-Karls-Universitat Tubingen Medizinische Fakultat, GERMANY
Publication Date: January 2021
Product Used: Cybird™ XD
Summary: This study evaluated the accuracy of commercial dental radiometers when measuring LED light-curing units, including Cybird™ XD. The authors reported substantial discrepancies between radiometer readings and gold-standard integrating sphere measurements, showing that dental radiometers may not reliably estimate actual light output for all curing lights.
Result Highlight: The study supports the importance of accurate light-output measurement methods when evaluating curing-light performance.

Publication Date: August 2023
Product Used: Cybird™ Gold
Summary: This dental materials study evaluated translucency of zirconia and hybrid ceramic monolithic crowns using white light and blue light transmission testing. A DXM Cybird™ Gold lamp was used for the blue-light transmission measurement. The study found differences in translucency depending on material type and sintering protocol.
Result Highlight: Cybird™ Gold was used as a blue-light source in translucency testing of ceramic and hybrid ceramic crown materials.

FAQ
Charger has a burning smell
When different adapter is used, since the voltages are different, it will burn your unit. It is very crucial that you use our adapters for our products only. Please contact us immediately.
Battery pins / Charger pins are corroded and will not charge
Pins corrode due to too much sterilization. Any liquid left from sterilization will cause corrosion.
Make sure to have the unit dry after sterilization.
Cleaning Instructions
Cleaning and Disinfection Instructions must be followed after each use.
Suggested Surface Disinfectant:
- CaviCide®(or equivalent quaternary/alcohol blend disinfectant)
Do NOT Use:
- Glutaraldehyde
- Denatured alcohol
- Lysol®
- Phenol or phenolic cleaner
- Ammonia complex
- Iodine complex solutions
Disassembly and Inspection:
- Remove elastomer rubber light shield from glass fiber-optic light guide.
- Remove light guide from handpiece by gently pulling it straight out. Examine light guide ends for damage or composite material adhering to the tip. Examine light shield for tears or distortion. Replace if any damage is noted on either component.
Handpiece and Charger Base
Cleaning:
- Initial cleaning of handpiece must begin immediately after use to prevent drying of soil and contaminants in and on the device
- All exterior surfaces of the handpiece and charger base may be wiped with CaviWipes® or a cloth soaked in surface disinfectant to remove gross soil. Do not allow cleaning solution to invade the interior of these components since this may adversely affect the electronics.
Disinfecting:
- All exterior surfaces of the handpiece or charger base must be wiped and wetted with CaviWipes® or a cloth soaked in surface disinfectant.
- Allow the CaviCide® surface disinfectant to reside of the surface for a minimum of 3 minutes. Do not allow the disinfectant to dry on the surface.
Drying:
- Use a clean dry cloth to dry the exterior surfaces. Do not allow fluids to accumulate in the charger base socket as this may adversely affect the electronics.
Light Guide (Fiber Optic Glass)
Cleaning:
- Initial cleaning of the fiber optic light guide must begin immediately after use to prevent drying of soil and contaminants in and on the device.
- All exterior surfaces may be wiped with CaviWipes® or a cloth soaked in surface disinfectant to remove gross soil. Use a soft brush to remove contaminants in the junction between the glass rod and metal ferrule if necessary.
- Clean thoroughly using an ultrasonic cleaner. Minimum cycle time 10 minutes.
Rinsing:
- Using clean tap water on a clean cloth, wipe away residual disinfectant
Sterilizing:
Package in an FDA cleared wrap prior to sterilization. Sterilization can be performed in gravity autoclave at 132° C / 270° F for 15 minutes with a 15-30 minute drying time.
Light Shield (Elastomer Rubber)
Cleaning:
- Initial cleaning of the light shield must begin immediately after use to prevent drying of soil and contaminants in and on the device.
- All exterior surfaces may be wiped with CaviWipes® or a cloth soaked in surface disinfectant to remove gross soil. Examine the light shield for damage and discard if any cuts, tears, or distortion is noted.
- Clean thoroughly using an ultrasonic cleaner. Minimum cycle time is 10 mins.
- The elastomer rubber light shield can be cleaned, sterilized and reused up to 5 times, discard after that.
Rinsing:
- Using clean tap water on a clean cloth, wipe away residual disinfectant.
Sterilizing:
Package in a FDA cleared wrap prior to sterilization. Sterilization can be performed in a gravity autoclave at 132°C / 270°F for 15 mins. with a 15-30 min. drying time.
Reassembly & Storage
- After all parts have been allowed to dry completely, gently insert the metal end of the glass fiber optic light guide into the circular opening of the handpiece. Make sure the light guide is completely inserted until it stops. This will position the light guide properly with the internal LED light source.
- Insert an elastomer rubber light shield over the end of the fiber optic light guide.
- Store the reassembled Cybird Curing light in a clean, dry location, preferably on the Cybird charger base so that the battery will be completely charged prior to the next use.
