摘要

The invention relates to a tool for making a dental filling of a light-hardening material. The tool comprises a tip (3) intended to be pressed down into the light-hardening material in connection with the filling of a tooth, as well as a holder (4) shaped as a sleeve with a surrounding wall (5) with an inner wall surface (14), which holder (4) is intended to receive a light guide (7). The holder comprises flexible members arranged to bear against, and by a certain force to hold, light guides of various outer dimensions. Moreover, the holder (4) is designed to press a light guide (7) placed in the holder (4) against the inner wall surface (14) of the holder, by a bearing pressure that varies along the periphery of the inner wall surface.
