Abstract: An apparatus of the present disclosure has a dental tray cup filled with a silicone elastomer and elastomeric sheeting covering the silicone elastomer in the dental tray cup. A method of the present disclosure comprises the steps of providing a dental tray, filling the dental tray with an elastomeric material, covering the elastomeric material in the dental tray with a sheeting.

Abstract: A method for creating a custom dental tray is made by filling a dental tray with an elastomer material, obtaining a first impression of a patient's teeth in the elastomer material by pressing the elastomer-filled dental tray against the patient's teeth, heating a polymer sheeting, and placing the heated polymer sheeting over the first impression in the elastomer-filled dental tray. In addition, the custom dental tray is made by obtaining a second impression of the patient's teeth in the polymer sheeting by pressing the elastomer-filled dental tray having the first impression and the heated sheeting over the patient's teeth and removing the polymer sheeting from the elastomer-filled dental tray.

Abstract: There is disclosed a novel device for providing heat to dental and periodontal structures and a novel process for brightening teeth, together with a novel use of old known processes for brightening teeth. The novel device comprises a splint/stint or vacumformed dental tray, containing a heating element to be placed around the tooth or teeth to be brightened. The novel process for brightening/whitening teeth entails using the splint containing the heating element in conjunction with standard tooth whiteners with a brightening agent. The heating element is attached to a power source, preferably mobile and transportable, so that the process may be accelerated by the heating of the brightening agent, in accordance with the Q10 rule.
