ABSTRACT:
The present invention consists of a mirror to be used in combination with a light source. Light is transmitted from the light source through the body of a light conductive shank to a shank heel and face, from which illumination is provided in front of and behind the mirror head. In this way, for example, the invention can be used in dentistry both for illuminated, indirect vision in the mouth and as an illuminated cheek or tongue retractor.
The invention can be used in combination with any suitable light source including, but not limited to, a portable pen light type light source (which is maneuverable and easily transportable) or a conventional fiber optic lighting system.
