Abstract: A dental construct is provided, which includes: a dental construct substrate; an image layer disposed at least partially on a surface of the dental construct substrate, the image layer comprising an image or information media composed of a colorant composition, the image layer fused at a temperature and being essentially free of lead and cadmium; and, a ceramic layer disposed at least partially over a surface of the dental construct substrate and covering at least the surface of the image layer, the ceramic layer comprising at least one or both of a ceramic material and a glaze material, the ceramic layer fused at a temperature, the ceramic layer being generally transparent and essentially free of lead and cadmium. The dental construct substrate preferably has a general configuration of at least a portion of a tooth. The first layer (image layer) comprises a ceramic material, preferably a metal oxide.

Abstract: A bonding nurser that can be used to closely approximate breast feeding mechanically and psychologically comprises a feeding container that simulates a breast in fluid delivery, shape, texture, feel, and ease of infant suckling releasibly attached to a sling so that the container is positioned on the breast area of the adult feeding the baby, and the adult's hands are free for cuddling the baby during feeding. The feeding container is a breast-shaped flexible housing that holds a collapsible bag which delivers milk or other fluids through a nipple protruding through the apex of the housing and is filled through a screw cap opening at the base opposite the apex and secured in the housing by retaining straps surfaced with Velcro™. When the container is assembled, i.e., a bag is positioned in the housing, the straps present a loop interface that mechanically couples the base of the container to a correspondingly sized hook-surfaced area on a shoulder strap (or a hand strap).
