Abstract
A chuck is provided to hold a fibre optic light guide of the type typically used in medical dental procedures involving the curing of resins by exposure to light. The chuck has an internal bore and configuration to releasably support and retain a fibre optic light guide so that fibre optic light guides may be readily substituted between patients. The chuck thus facilitates sterilization/disinfection procedures. The outside diameter and configuration of the chuck is adapted to fit a particularly manufacturer's curing light device to adapt a particular manufacturer's instrument for use with the replaceable fibre optic light guides. A set of chucks may be manufactured with the outside diameter of the chucks adapted to be received in a number of different manufacturers' light emitting devices but all such chucks have a common internal diameter so that the replaceable fibre optic light guides may be used with any of the plurality of manufacturers' instruments.
