Products / CheckMARC / For clinics
An expert-led curing audit, delivered to your clinic.
CheckMARC is our expert-led, on-site evaluation. A CheckMARC partner visits your clinic, measures every light at the tip and at clinical depth, and our team returns a customized report on every light, every operator, and every protocol gap we find. Every test also becomes structured field data: the real-world evidence behind our work with manufacturer partners.

How it works
Three steps. No lab visit.
You request it; we connect you with a partner who brings the lab to your operatory. Your team keeps treating patients, and our experts do the analysis.
STEP / 02
A partner visits and measures
A CheckMARC partner comes to you, tags each light with an ID sticker, and measures it at the tip and at 6 mm, working around your clinic's day.
STEP / 03
Report
Our light-curing experts review the data and return a customized report with operator-level findings and protocol recommendations.
What you get back
A signed report on every light, not a spreadsheet.
For each curing light: its output at the tip and at 6 mm, variance against the manufacturer's stated spec, a heat-exposure check, and the exact minimum cure time for every material that clinic stocks.
What it measures
The clinical truth most dentists never see.
A curing light can read fine at the tip and still fail a deep posterior box. CheckMARC measures what actually reaches the restoration, and turns it into a cure time you can trust.
From the measured irradiance, CheckMARC computes a corrected cure time for each material you use, scaled to your light's real output and aware of the material's photoinitiator chemistry. Undercured composites don't fail in the chair; they fail months later as recurrent decay, marginal breakdown, or a tooth that "started bothering me after the filling."
Irradiance at the tip and at 6 mm
Two distances on every test: direct output and the energy that survives to 6 mm of clinical depth. Tip-only radiometers miss the drop-off entirely.
The full spectral curve
A radiometer and a spectrometer run together, capturing output by wavelength, not a single number, so blue-only and blue-violet (polywave) lights are read correctly.
Output across the whole cure
Irradiance delivery over time, so a light that spikes then sags is caught where a single peak reading would pass it.
A verdict, not raw numbers
The Curing Advisor returns OK, Warning, or Do Not Use, flagging any light more than 20% off its stated output, and suppressing cure times on anything dangerous.
The drop-off, drawn: output at the tip vs. what survives to 6 mm of clinical depth.
From the operatory to a dashboard
Every test becomes structured, comparable data.
A clinic sees its whole fleet at a glance: each light's measured output against its stated spec, the drop-off from the tip to 6 mm, and a Pulse Score that says, in one number, whether the curing is healthy.
Lights more than 20% off spec are flagged. Anything reading below a stocked material's required energy is flagged. Nothing depends on remembering to check.

Why it's a service, not a product
Reports you can act on, not raw numbers.
Same products as our research.
The same radiometer-and-spectrometer measurement, sampling protocol, and analysis we use in peer-reviewed research, not a simplified field shortcut.
Read by a person, not a script.
Every report is reviewed and signed by a light-curing specialist. You get clinical interpretation, not raw irradiance values.
Actionable by Monday morning.
Findings come with protocol recommendations you can implement next week, not a stack of charts.
Find out what's actually happening in your operatory.
A CheckMARC evaluation runs alongside a normal clinic day. You get a written, expert-reviewed report, and a list of protocol changes you can ship next week.
