Abstract: A system for ingots of holding dental material includes a holder having a plurality of spaced-apart depressions each configured to hold one ingot. The container has a retaining cover for retaining the holder and ingots in the container. The container also has a master cover which when closed encloses a storage space between it and the retaining cover. The container and covers may be made from a transparent material such that ingots in the container are visible even when the container is closed.
