Dental loupes with black light lens

Abstract

Dental loupes feature a light source, a composite lens, and a blacklight lens. Each lens may be hingedly coupled to the light source to prevent composite from curing or cause composite to fluoresce. The dental loupes have magnets for securing the position of each lens and/or may have a formfactor configured to allow ease of rotation and positioning. In some examples, the dental loupes include a first bracket coupled to and rotatable about a second bracket via a pin. The first bracket has a first aperture configured to hold a light source. The second bracket has a second aperture configured to hold a composite lens and a third aperture configured to hold a blacklight lens. In a first configuration, the light source aligns with the composite lens, preventing curing of composite. In a second configuration, the light source aligns with the blacklight lens, causing composite to fluoresce.
