  • Patent number: 6431864
    Abstract: A method of placing an object having a substantially planar surface into a channel between a pair of teeth, implemented by a grasping tool, including providing a dental tool having a first arm with a first tip and a first end, a first pressure portion on a first surface, and a pin mounted on a second surface opposite the first surface and a second arm with a second tip and a second end, a second pressure portion on a first surface and an opening that receives the pin, applying pressure on the first pressure portion and the second pressure portion simultaneously to grasp the object, moving the dental tool and the object toward the channel, inserting the object into the channel, and releasing the pressure from the first pressure portion and the second pressure portion to free the object from the dental tool; the first end affixed to the second end to form a base, the first tip and the second tip substantially oblique to a plane passing through the base, and the first surface of the first arm opposite the first
