MeSH definition : Chemical compound used to initiate polymerization of dental resins by the use of DENTAL
CURING LIGHTS. It absorbs UV light and undergoes decomposition into free radicals
that initiate polymerization process of the resins in the mix. Each photoinitiator
has optimum emission spectrum and intensity for proper curing of dental materials.;
