Camphorquinone is a chemical compound from the group of camphor derivatives and the most widely used photoinitiator for medical applications. Camphorquinone and an amine as a coinitiator are used to harden dental composites .
Camphorquinone is matched to the use of blue LED light (440–480 nm). An alternative photoinitiator is bis-4- (methoxybenzoyl) diethylgermanium (Ivocerin).
