Dental Impression Tray
US Patent:
6079977, Jun 27, 2000
Filed:
Mar 3, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/261183
Inventors:
Joseph A. Persichetti - Holland PA
International Classification:
A61C 900
US Classification:
433 37
Abstract:
A dental impression tray includes venting in the palatal area of the tray that permits excess impression material to be expelled downward and forward as the impression material and tray are forced upward against the patient's teeth when the impression is taken. At least one vent is located along the apex of the palatal shelf portion of the tray. A pressure plate is also employed which lies substantially in the plane of the base of the tray near the back of the tray. The pressure plate provides a reduced pressure against the impression material and also provides a convenient place in the center of the dental tray for the clinician to apply upward finger pressure to control the positioning and pressure of the tray against the patient's teeth as it is applied.
