ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic light carrying probe for efficiently transmitting high intensity light from a high intensity light source to a point of application is provided with unsheathed glass cladding which prevents light leakage along the length of the probe. When the probe is used in orthodontic procedures, such as bonding, the cladding averts the high intensity light from the patient's eyes which would otherwise cause discomfort. Furthermore, the probe may be repeatedly autoclaved without significantly damaging or deteriorating the glass cladding.
