Patent ID: 6976841

Claim:
An intra-oral dental irradiation apparatus comprising: an arch shaped base plate, said base plate connecting a first sidewall to an opposing second sidewall; said first sidewall having an interior surface facing an inner surface of said second sidewall; an arched shaped cavity, said cavity defined by the substantially U-shaped area between said base plate, said interior surface and said inner surface; means to irradiate teeth occupying said cavity from multiple individual points of irradiation, said means to irradiate teeth powered by an electric current; means to pulse said means to irradiate teeth occupying said cavity wherein irradiation emitted therefrom is switched continuously between an energized state and a de-energized state; said means to irradiate teeth in said energized state producing said irradiation by employing a maximum of said electrical current communicated to said means to irradiate teeth to thereby provide maximum irradiation emission; and said means to irradiate teeth in said de-energized state ceasing said irradiation emission for sufficient time periods to allow cooling of said cavity to a determined temperature.
