ABSTRACT:
A sheathed, conformable, multi-tooth device for curing adhesives, sealants and/or whitening or coloring agents used in the dentistry field is disclosed. An array of LED lights are connected and a relatively low voltage (e.g., 5 volts) powers the LED array. The LED array is housed within a clear, transparent and/or translucent housing constructed of either a solid, such as a poured resin, or a hollow structure. The housing conforms to an approximate shape of dentition. The housing is mountable within a disposable oversertion sheath. During use, the LED array transmits light which cures the adhesives, sealants and/or whitening or coloring agents, preferably on several teeth simultaneously.
