Abstract: A fishing lure of the type to be cast and retrieved or trolled comprising a first spoon element (20R) and a second spoon element (20L). Each spoon element (20R) and (20L) has a first generally concave side face surface (34R) and (34L) and a second generally convex side face surface (32R) and (32L). Each spoon element (20R) and (20L) has a first side edge (24R) and (26R) and a second side edge (24L) and (26L). The side edges (24R) and (26R) and (24L) and (26L) generally converge in forward and rearward directions from each spoon element's widest segment (25R) and (25L). Each spoon element (20R) and (20L) is somewhat arcuate longitudinally, each curving inward in a forward direction toward its concave side face surface 34R and 34L generally from its widest segment 25R and 25L and somewhat curving inward in a rearward direction toward the concave side face surface 34R and 34L from its widest segment 25R and 25L.

Abstract: A method of effecting the coloration of a restoration to be mounted on a tooth including the steps of forming a mixture of powdered dental porcelain and a photonucleable silicate glass and shaping the mixture into a dental restoration. The dental restoration is heated in an oven to its fusing temperature and allowed to cool. Selected areas of the restoration are exposed to ultra-violet light. The dental restoration is reexposed to high energy while the color of the selected areas changes.

Abstract: A method of coloring dental restorations which consists of incorporating within the dental restoration material prior to curing a coloration agent which upon the application of heat or other energy alters the color of the restoration. By applying the energy in steps it is possible to match closely the color of the restoration to adjacent teeth or that of the tooth on which the restoration is mounted.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a porcelain veneer casing for use in the restoration of damaged teeth in which a porcelain layer is built up on a model of the teeth. The model is removed by erosion caused by the blast of air under pressure containing glass balls. The invention also includes the method of restoration of damaged teeth using the aforesaid porcelain veneer casing and the porcelain veneer casing as an article of manufacture.
