Device for curing with light
First Claim
1. A curing device for curing dental materials by light-induced polymerization, said curing device comprising:
- a supply station;
a hand-held apparatus comprising a light source;
a detachable cable connecting said hand-held apparatus to said supply station; and
an output control device controlling said light source in order to ensure a uniform light intensity, wherein the output control device has a preset nominal output, the output control device comprising a control FET;
said cable connected within said output control device, wherein said output control device prevents switching on of the curing device, or emits a warning signal, when said nominal output requires a voltage, surpassing a control bias voltage minus a potential difference of said control FET, or a corresponding current.

Abstract
A curing device for curing dental materials by light-induced polymerization has a supply station and a hand-held apparatus including a light source. A detachable cable connects the hand-held apparatus to the supply station. An output control device controls the light source in order to ensure a uniform light intensity, wherein the output control device has a preset nominal output. The output control device includes a control FET. The cable is connected within the output control device. The output control device prevents switching on the curing device or emits a warning signal when the nominal output requires a voltage, surpassing a control bias voltage minus a potential difference of the control FET, or a corresponding current.
