Claim Text:
1. A single tooth curing light head for simultaneously emitting polymerizing light energy upon a crown and first and second exposed sides of a single tooth, comprising: a housing sized and configured to cover only a single tooth at a time; a first facet positioned within the housing, said first facet configured for facing the crown of the single tooth when the housing is placed over the single tooth; a second facet positioned within the housing, said second facet configured for facing the first exposed side of the single tooth when the housing is placed over the single tooth; and a third facet positioned within the housing, said third facet configured for facing the second exposed side of the single tooth when the housing is placed over the single tooth; wherein each of said first, second, and third facets, includes an outer surface and an inner surface spaced from said outer surface; wherein an LED is mounted therein each of said first, second, and third facets, within a space defined by said outer surface spaced from said inner surface; each said LED is positioned to emit light energy upon respective ones of the crown and first and second exposed sides of the single tooth; and wherein each LED is mounted on a heat sink, which is spaced from the respective outer surface of the first, second, and third facets, forming a heat insulation layer defined by an air gap between each said heat sink and the respective outer surface of the first, second, and third facets.
