Abstract: A multi dental flask system. The system includes a boot, at least two dental flasks, a sleeve, and a wrench. The boot is affixed to a surface. The at least two dental flasks are stacked one on top of the other. A lowermost dental flask of the at least two dental flasks is non-rotatably received in the boot. The sleeve is replaceably affixed to the lowermost dental flask of the at least two dental flasks and houses the other at least one dental flask of the at least two dental flasks so as to allow the at least two dental flasks to be processed simultaneously. The wrench receives the sleeve and replaceably affixes the sleeve to the lowermost dental flask.

Abstract: A one-piece dental retention pin is symmetrical with respect to a central plane and has an upper end and a lower end and parallel first and second face surfaces. The pin has a top portion extending from the upper end toward the lower end and a bottom portion extending from the lower end to a location of juncture with the top portion and tapering from a location of minimum width at the lower end to a location of maximum width about halfway between the lower end and the juncture of the bottom portion and the top portion and then tapers to diminish in width to its location of juncture with the top portion. A central hole therethrough joins the face surfaces which have serrations in the bottom portion.

Abstract: A false tooth is made by first making a base that may correspond to the patient's mouth but that has no crown, then modeling a plurality of separate crown pieces that interfit complementarily to form a crown, and finally anchoring the pieces so that they form a complete crown atop the base.
