. CARVED VENEER FOR ARTIFICIAL TEETH Application fi led March 7,
My invention aims to facilitate the manu} facture of artificial toothed plates for the mouth by providing a veneer which will save considerable time andlabor and consequently reduce the cost of producing a plate.
It is the present'practice of a dentist to obtain an impression of the gums,palate, and those parts ofthe mouth contiguous to the location of teeth; so that a plate, hold- "ing artificial teeth may be produced and comfortably used'in the mouth. After such an impression is obtained by a dentist using plaster Paris or a composition which will readily conform to the mouth and then set 'or'harden, such embryo form is ordinarily placed in the hands of a mechanical dentist who produces a finished plate holding artificial teeth. For the production of such a plate a wax or composite pattern is made in v i which the artificial teeth are set. The mounting of the teeth in the pattern is an operation requiring considerable precision, particularly the trimming of the pattern about necks of the teeth or places where the teeth "adjoin the pattern. The workman must be somewhat of a sculptorto carve the pattern and imitate as near as possible the appearance of a natural gum adjoining the teeth, for it is from this pattern that a plate is produced. The trimming and carving of the pattern about the teeth requires considerable time and labor and I have discovered that this operation may be minimized by using a prepared veneer in connection with the pattern. The prepared veneer is made from a strip of wax or other pliable material and the edge of the strip is scalloped festooned crenated notched or otherwise formed so that it may be easily and quickly fitted on a pattern about the artificial teeth. at the juncture of the teeth with the pattern. The configuration of the veneer is such that its festooned edge will approximately fit a set of artificial teeth with the result that after the veneer is in place a workman may need to only retouch the veneer to complete the appearance of teeth naturally joining a gum. In some instances it may be only necessary to press 7 the veneer into place, because the shape of the teeth being known it is possible to pro- 1927. Serial No. 173,434.

or DETROIT, MICHIGAN, ASSIGNOR on ONE-HALF 'ro WILLIAM H."WARREN, or DETROIT, MICHIGAN As set forth in the beginning a pattern is produced holding artificial teeth and in Figs.
4 to 8 inclusive the pattern is designated 1. This pattern is made of wax'or other composite material that may be readily molded or shaped and in the pattern, is'anchored artificial teeth 2. 'Pins 3, posts or other devices may be utilized for this purpose. In producing this pattern the front or gum Wall 4 thereof is set back sufficiently to accommodatea veneer 5 which may besuitably mounted on the wall 4 to form a facing there on, as shown in Fig. 6.
Reference will now be had to Figs. 1, to 3 inclusive and 6 designates a fiat thin blank of wax or other pliable material which may be molded,'rolled or otherwise worked in the formation of a scalloped edge 7 havingthe configuration or outline of the teeth Qat their juncture with "the wall 4.

From another standpoint, the veneercontributes to. a method of making toothed plates which method consists in producing 'an embryo patv tern; completing the formation 'of the pat seal with the teeth.
