A dental lighting device and process for using the same comprises at least one lighting system configured to light a predetermined dental zone with, over a first spectral range which is less than a reference wavelength between 405 nm and 475 nm, a first irradiance value E1 and, over a second spectral range greater than this reference wavelength, a second irradiance value E2, which lighting system is configured to function according to at least one first lighting mode in which the ratio of the first irradiance value E1 to the second irradiance value E2 is less than 12.
