  • wireless power supply there still a need to maintain safety of the devices such as maintaining the temperature of the device for the use.
  • photosensitive compounds that are cured by exposure to radiant energy, such as visible light. These compounds, commonly referred to as light-curable compounds, are placed within dental cavity preparations or onto dental surfaces where they are subsequently irradiated by light. The radiated light causes photosensitive components within the compounds to polymerize, thereby hardening the light-curable compounds within the dental cavity preparation or another desired location.
  • a light source such as a quartz-tungsten-halogen (QTH) bulb or an LED light source.
  • QTH bulbs are particularly useful because they are configured to generate a broad spectrum of light that can be used to cure a broad range of products.

  • Some QTH bulbs may even emit a broader spectrum of light, although filters are typically used to limit the range of emitted light to the preferred range mentioned above.
  • One reason it is useful for the QTH bulb to emit a broad spectrum of light is because many dental compounds cure at different wavelengths.
  • camphorquinone is a common photo-initiator that is most responsive to light having a wavelength of about 460 nm to about 470 nm.
  • Other light-curable products including many adhesives are cured when they are irradiated by light wavelengths in the 350 nm to 400 nm range. Accordingly, QTH bulbs can be used to cure both camphorquinone initiated products as well as adhesives.
  • QTH bulbs generate a relatively high quantity of heat, making it impractical to place QTH bulbs on the portions of the light-curing devices that are inserted within the mouth of a patient.
  • the QTH bulbs were disposed at the tips of the light-curing devices, the heat generated by the QTH bulbs could burn or agitate the sensitive mouth tissues of the patient.
  • the QTH bulbs are typically disposed remotely from the portion of the light-curing device that is inserted within a patient's mouth.
  • the heat generated by QTH bulbs also represents wasted energy, which increases the power requirement to achieve a desired light intensity.
  • fiber optic wands and tubular light guides are useful for their intended purposes, they are somewhat undesirable because they can add to the cost and weight of the equipment, thereby increasing the overall cost and difficulty of performing the light-curing dental procedures.

Abstract

L'invention concerne le domaine du système de photo-durcissement dentaire pour le durcissement de matériaux composites par la lumière. Un aspect de la présente invention concerne un système de photo-durcissement qui utilise une source de diodes électroluminescentes (DEL) pour produire de la lumière pouvant durcir des matériaux composites. Le durcissement de matériaux composites consiste à polymériser des monomères en polymères durables. Un autre aspect de la présente invention concerne un système de photo-durcissement ayant de multiples puces de DEL pour fournir une chaleur bien répartie à travers le guide afin de réduire la chaleur et la déformation des guides de lumière. La présente invention concerne également une structure de charge sans fil dans un dispositif sans fil, et, plus particulièrement, une structure de charge sans fil dans un dispositif sans fil qui fournit une charge stable en maintenant le module de réception à une température basse lors de la charge d'un dispositif sans fil ayant une surface de section transversale longue et petite.
