Particularly preferably, the rotary ring a plurality of locking positions available, so that a reproducibility of the settings is given.
  • each detent position can be connected to a defined light output of the treatment light, which can select not only a continuous change in the light output but also very different light output properties, for example in the sense of dedicated treatment modes.
  • a further development may relate, for example, in addition to factory presets, the custom storage of light output values in the treatment light.
  • the controls are also designed to be autoclavable.
  • a low-cost variant can provide that the lamp has a toggle switch for switching the lamp on and off, which can be integrated, for example, in the axis of rotation of a rotary ring described above.
  • Treatment modes of the luminaire may include, for example, the intensity increase of the light output in a wavelength range between 400 to 460 nm for the detection of oral cancer.
  • the practitioner To detect an excited green fluorescence of the oral mucosa, the practitioner must wear dichromatic glasses or the light has, as described below, via appropriate means of detection.
  • the intensity increase of the light output could also be provided in a range of 405 nm for the detection of caries in a treatment mode. Metabolic products of the caries bacteria are detected by red fluorescence.
  • the treatment light can also, as described below, be designed to detect these metabolic products.
  • the light output can be predominantly monochrome, for example, to be able to distinguish natural from artificial tooth substance.
  • a recognition could be done by different reflection behavior of artificial or natural tooth substance.
  • the Treatment light designed to detect reflected light at different angles.
  • the treatment light comprises operating elements that can be actuated without contact.
  • these may be optical sensors which, for example, are sensitive to movement, preferably in a fixed, predetermined distance range, switch the treatment light on or off or select dimming stages or treatment modes without contact.
  • the non-contact control elements or corresponding sensor means could be designed to detect possible shadowing in the light path to the object plane and optionally adjust the number of activated LED light sources 200. For example, it would then be possible to switch off LED light sources 200, which mainly irradiate the area of shadowing, and if necessary to increase the light output of the remaining LED light sources 200 or to switch on previously unused LED light sources 200 of the treatment light. This can ensure that the treatment site is optimally illuminated in each case.
  • each of the LED light sources 200 being designed to fully illuminate a common, spatially limited light field in an object plane, in particular exclusively this light field.
  • a development of the invention provides that the operating elements are integrated into the LED light sources 200, so that the treatment light can be supplemented, for example, by the functionality of specific treatment modes by replacement or installation of a corresponding LED light source 200.
  • the treatment light comprises an image acquisition unit, for example a camera.
  • the camera could be arranged on the support 510, for example also in exchange for one of the LED light sources 200, so that the arrangement and exchange possibilities of the LED light sources 200 described above are also conceivable for the image capture unit or camera.
  • the camera can be designed to capture individual images or coherent film sequences.
  • This is preferably a semiconductor-based image acquisition unit, for example a CCD chip.
  • an objective assigned to the image acquisition unit or the camera is embedded in an adjustable calotte which, for example, can pass through the cover 570 of the light exit surface. The adjustment of the dome or the image acquisition unit can then be done manually or remotely, for example, via separate controls.
  • the camera can also be used, for example, for detection purposes in the treatment modes described above, so that the image acquisition unit is designed, for example, specifically for detecting specific wavelengths or for detecting light at specific angles of incidence.
  • An embodiment also provides for using the image acquisition unit for controlling the light emission of the treatment light.
  • the image acquisition unit may represent a sensor means described above, which detects the light output of the treatment light and measures the deviation to a desired value.
  • shadowing in the light path could, for example, also be detected with the aid of the image acquisition unit, and particularly preferably, three-dimensional information of the illumination could be detected with the aid of a plurality of image acquisition units.
  • the luminaire may also include an orientation laser.
  • an orientation laser for example, a central or boundary point of a light field - preferably only briefly - be marked so that an optimal orientation of the treatment light is given.
  • a three-dimensional information of the illumination can also be reconstructed, so that preferably the distance between the treatment light and the object plane can be optimally adjusted with the aid of this information.
  • the laser or the treatment light could be associated with other means of detection for distances.
  • the laser could be pulsed to operate, so that a temporal evaluation of the reflected signal provides this information.
  • a dental treatment light is created by the invention, which is extremely flexible adaptable to the wishes of the user, and at the same time brings excellent hygienic properties.
