Abstract:
A dental curing light includes a device body that efficiently conducts heat away from the light emitting diode portion of the curing light. The device body includes a proximal gripping end and a distal head end. The device body is formed from a thermally conductive body material. Excellent heat conduction away from the LED dies is achieved using a thermally conductive layer disposed over the device body. The thermally conductive layer serves as a conduit to quickly conduct heat away from the LED dies for dissipation within the material of the device body In this manner, the material of the device body serves as a highly efficient heat dissipater. The surface area coupling the thermally conductive layer to the device body is sufficiently large that a majority (e g, substantially all) of heat being conducted by the thermally conductive layer is transferred to the device body during operation of the device.

Claim (Index 18):
A curing light, comprising:\n a unitary, one-piece body formed of a single piece of thermally conductive material and having an elongated shape that extends between a first end and a second end, the unitary, one-piece body comprising:\n a head including a head cavity; \n a handle sized and configured for a user to hold and manipulate the curing light with one hand; \n an internal cavity sized and configured to house a battery pack and an electronics assembly; \n a neck comprising a narrowed region extending between the head and the handle, the neck being configured for insertion into a mouth of a patient; and \n a passageway at least partially disposed in the neck, the passageway disposed between the head and the internal cavity; \n the electronics assembly disposed in the internal cavity; and one or more light emitting diodes disposed on at least one region of the head, wherein the unitary, one-piece body functions as a heat sink into which waste heat produced by operation of the one or more light emitting diodes is transferred.
