Method And Apparatus For Light-Curing Resin Adhesives For Orthodontic Brackets
US Patent:
5800163, Sep 1, 1998
Filed:
Mar 13, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/816619
Inventors:
Frederick A. Rueggeberg - Augusta GA
Thomas C. Whaley - Mableton GA
Thomas C. Whaley - Mableton GA
Assignee:
MCG Research Institute - Augusta GA
International Classification:
A61C 300
US Classification:
433 9
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for curing an adhesive resin by use of light in which the resin is disposed between a bottom surface of an orthodontic bracket and a tooth surface, wherein a curing tip enhancer of the present invention directs the light onto the adhesive when the bracket is disposed within a portion of the curing tip enhancer. Preferably, the light is directed onto the adhesive resin in a direction substantially parallel to the tooth surface. A portion of the interior surface of the bore of the curing tip enhancer is disposed at an angle so that the light is reflected onto the resin. A light-reflective interior surface of the bore increases the effectiveness of the curing tip enhancer because more radiant energy is reflected onto the resin.
Use Of Integrating Sphere Technology To Provide Uniform, High-Intensity Light, And Wavelength Mixing From Light Emitting Diodes
US Patent:
7938643, May 10, 2011
Filed:
Jan 23, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/018480
Inventors:

International Classification:
A61C 1/00, A61C 15/00
US Classification:
433 29, 433215
Abstract:
An illumination device including an integrating sphere and at least one light source. The integrating sphere is hollow and houses the at least one light source in it. The light source can be manipulated between a first configuration and a second configuration. The illumination device emits a first spectrum of light when the light source is in the first configuration, and a second spectrum of light when the light source is in the second configuration.
