What is MARC™-PS?

MARC™ stands for Managing Accurate Resin Curing.

There are two versions of this system, the RC (Resin Calibrator)  and the PS (Patient Simulator).

The Patient Simulator uses a familiar dental mannequin head to house a custom laboratory grade NIST-referenced spectroradiometer (spectrometer). Attached via a birfurcated fibre optic cable are two energy sensors to simulate a standard ISO-sized class I and class IV restoration. All this hardware is controlled through a very simple user interface on a dedicated laptop computer that most users are able to master in 20 minutes.

The resulting information provides dental researchers, manufacturers, educators, students and clinicians with scientifically accurate and clinically relevant data to better manage the CORE variables that determine the effective use of curing lights in clinical practice.
