Used primarily as a curing agent in dental resins, this chemical enables rapid polymerization when exposed to light, making it essential in dental composites and restorative materials. It acts as a co-initiator in visible light-curing systems, working with photoinitiators like camphorquinone to form strong, durable dental fillings. Its reactivity under blue light allows for precise control during dental procedures, ensuring quick setting and minimal patient discomfort. Additionally, it contributes to improved adhesion and mechanical strength of the final restoration.
