Abstract
A light resolution element for a light guiding apparatus is provided that is connectable in optical communication with the light guiding apparatus for guiding and re-orienting light emitted thereto from the light guiding apparatus such that light exiting the light resolution element irradiates a dental restoration piece in a manner which effects complete hardening of the piece. The light resolution element includes a prismatic body operable to guide and re-orient a light beam passed thereto from the light guiding apparatus.
Claims14
A light resolution element for a light guiding apparatus, which is connectable in optical communication with the light guiding apparatus and by means of which light emitted thereto from the light guiding apparatus is re-orientable, comprising:
