Sure, UV, but we probably shouldn't judge things we're confused about.

Hard to believe

, but probably often true.

No worries, Wpresto, it wouldn't have been intentional from someone distinguished like you, of course.

Or any cabled manual ring flash - from Yongnuo or a multitude of others.

Hi rawr!
I have got the ring light from pentax. the problem is that to let the lab know the color and texture of the teeth to mimic them on porcelain the twin light flash is much better.

Thank you all for the helpful information. I am going to check all the options.

Would a continuous LED lighting solution be worth considering, rather than a flash?

Some of those, like Aputure's Amaran products, sell themselves as offering very good colour accuracy. The AL-H100 seems a compact example that you could run as a continuous light source and/or ring flash.
