Light emitting diode-array light apparatus

For use in a human mouth containing teeth having a specific contour, a dental curing apparatus comprising, in combination:

• a curing section and an oversertion sheath;
• the curing section being reusable and having an LED array contained within a housing;
• the housing further having a generally flattened, elongated shape and having an insertion end oriented toward the human mouth into which the apparatus is placed and having at its opposite end a power receiving end for receiving an electrical current, the housing being sealed with respect to the LED array such that the LED array is maintained in non-contacting relation to the human mouth;
• the oversertion sheath being disposable and having a generally flattened, elongated shape and having a tapered sheath end oriented toward the human mouth into which the apparatus is placed and having at its opposite end a housing receiving aperture;
• the oversertion sheath being constructed and arranged so as to receive the housing, the housing being constructed and arranged so as to be insertable into the oversertion sheath;
• and
• the curing apparatus having an overall length greater than approximately one inch and being conformable to the specific contour of the teeth within the human mouth with which it is to be used,
• the housing further having a flat housing top and a flat housing bottom and two opposed, semicylindrical housing sides interposed between the flat housing top and flat housing bottom;
• whereby the housing has a generally flattened columnar shape.
