Description
Kerr Demi Plus Light Curing System is a visible LED light-curing unit intended for the polymerization of light-cured materials. It is powered by Demetron Technology and has a high-performance thermoplastic polyester resin exterior. The Demi Plus is cordless and designed to be lightweight, yet durable, chemical resistant, impact-resistant, and able to withstand extreme temperatures.
The Kerr Demi Plus is a Light Emitting Diode curing light that incorporates a breakthrough in light curing technology – Periodic Level Shifting (PLS). Thanks to the new PLS technology, the Demi intermittently shifts output intensity from an impressive base of 1100 mW/cm2 to a peak of 1330 mW/cm2. This enables the Demi Plus to deliver a 5-second cure for A3 or lighter shades. Demetron’s unique thermal control system ensures a cool, continuous high output without the risk of overheating intrapulpal tissue.

Clinical Observations
Manufacturer’s Instructions
The manufacturer’s instructions were rated as good.
Handpiece Design and Ergonomics
This light is an ergonomic hybrid between a pen-style and a pistol-grip light. The slight angle in the handle allows a comfortable position to grasp the light and trigger the on/off button. Consultants liked the feel and grip of the handpiece. The buttons for the timer and the on/off switch are positioned close together, and it is possible to push the wrong one.
Ease of Use/Ease of Access in the Mouth
Ease of use and ease of access to the mouth were rated very good. The longer tip makes it easier to reach posterior teeth. The light guide rotates 180° for positioning from any angle.
Ability to Cure Materials
Consultants rated the ability to cure a variety of materials as excellent.
Patient Comfort
Patient comfort was rated very good with no reports of excessive heat.
Noise Level
Nearly all of the consultants reported that the audible tones every five seconds were too loud. An option for volume control was suggested.
Docking Station /Battery Life
Most consultants docked the light in the charging station between uses, and the battery never became fully discharged. The station contains two sockets for charging, and the light is stable when docked. Consultants rated the time required to charge the battery and the battery life as excellent.
Ease of Cleaning/Disinfection
The ease of cleaning and disinfection was rated very good to excellent. The manufacturer recommends disinfection by wiping with a product containing less than 20% alcohol.
Summary
Thirty-six percent of consultants reported that Kerr Demi Plus was better than their current light-curing unit and 46% reported that it was equivalent. Seventy-three percent would switch to Demi Plus LED Light Curing System and 91% would recommend it.
