Dental Curing Light Monitoring Solutions
Bluelight Analytics was founded in 2009 at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, with a mission to revolutionize dental curing processes through advanced light measurement technology. Our journey began with a simple yet critical observation: despite the importance of curing lights in restorative dentistry, many practitioners lacked reliable tools to monitor their performance. Over the past decade, we have grown into a global leader, serving over 19,400 dental clinics across 75 countries. Our team of scientists and product developers combines deep technical expertise with a commitment to solving real-world challenges faced by dentists and dental service organizations (DSOs). We work closely with manufacturers to ensure our solutions align with evolving industry standards. Our flagship product, the CheckUp Smart Radiometer, empowers dental professionals to optimize curing protocols, reduce restoration failures, and improve patient outcomes.

With 135,000+ light evaluations completed, we continue to innovate based on customer feedback and original research. Our headquarters in Halifax, Canada, serves as a hub for a growing team dedicated to transforming data into actionable insights for the dental community. We prioritize transparency, continuous learning, and collaboration, ensuring our tools remain at the intersection of clinical excellence and technological advancement. Our partnerships with organizations like 3M and our support for ongoing education through downloadable guides and a dedicated blog underscore our commitment to advancing the field of restorative dentistry.

Services
CheckUp Smart Radiometer
The CheckUp Smart Radiometer measures curing light output with AI-powered precision. It calculates optimal curing times for any light-material combination, reducing restoration failures. Compatible with 600+ models, it integrates with our analytics app for real-time insights.
Light Evaluation
Our free in-person evaluations, partnered with 3M, assess curing light functionality. Dentists receive actionable reports on light output, recommended curing times, and potential risks, helping prevent post-op complications.
Analytics Software
The Bluelight Analytics app tracks light performance trends over time. It provides color-coded alerts (green/yellow/red) and personalized curing protocols, ensuring consistent results across dental practices and DSO networks.
Protocol Optimization
We help clinics standardize curing protocols using real-world data. By aligning light output with material requirements, we reduce variability, enhance efficiency, and minimize chair time lost to failed restorations.
Manufacturer Support
We partner with dental equipment manufacturers to integrate light measurement expertise into product development. Our solutions ensure new curing lights and materials meet clinical performance standards before market release.

Questions
How often should I test my curing lights?
We recommend weekly testing to catch output changes early. Delaying tests risks multiple failed restorations if a light malfunctions between checks.
Is CheckUp compatible with all curing lights?
CheckUp measures 600+ major curing light models. We add new models within 3 months of release, ensuring compatibility with emerging technologies.
What do green/yellow/red scores mean?
Green = safe curing, yellow = caution advised, red = light requires immediate attention. Scores are based on real-time output and material requirements.
How does CheckUp improve patient outcomes?
By ensuring accurate curing times, CheckUp reduces under-cured (fractures) and over-cured (sensitivity) restorations, leading to fewer post-op complications.
Can CheckUp integrate with my practice's workflow?
Yes. The app allows team-wide access to light performance data, enabling standardized protocols and reducing variability between clinicians.
