Section: abstract

Polymerization devices having an irradiation space in an irradiation chamber, the space being accessible via at least one pivotable or displaceable wall, and having a light conductor and a radiation source unit, wherein the light conductor feeds the radiation from the radiation source into the irradiation space of the irradiation chamber and forms a releasable connection between the irradiation chamber and the radiation source unit, are known. To create a polymerization device that makes it possible to operate an irradiation chamber for curing plastic dental parts by means of a hand-held polymerization unit, with the capability of easy conversion from a hand-held polymerization unit to a stationary polymerization device, the radiation source unit is a hand-held polymerization unit, which is retained by its housing part on a first support, disposed on a support plate of a support frame; the light conductor is guided in a second support of the support plate; and the irradiation chamber is supported on a part of the support frame.
