Label support sheet

A curing apparatus wherein rapid curing is provided by using light, pressure, pressure and light, or purge, pressure and light to cure resinous materials by application of energy from an external source to excite polymerization in a polymerizable system. An air-tight chamber is provided to house the polymerizable dental material. The apparatus provides an automated system for curing the polymerizable material under light and pressure in the same unit. A purge cycle may be included to minimize or eliminate bubbles and provide an oxygen-free atmosphere.

Curing unit for dental materials

A curing apparatus providing rapid curing by using light, pressure, pressure and light, or purge, pressure and light to cure resinous materials by application of energy from an external source to excite polymerization in a polymerizable system. A curing chamber is provided to house the polymerizable dental material. The apparatus utilizes light emitting diodes (LEDs) to radiate energy to polymerize the dental materials. The LEDs are positioned optimally within the curing apparatus to provide efficient, effective polymerization of the dental materials.
