Abstract: The invention concerns a dental mold tray for producing tooth casts by means of a hardenable mold mass, with a molding shell (10) adapted to the shape of the human upper or lower jaw, for the reception of the mold mass, so that the molding shell (10) can be separated into at least two parts for the non-destructive reception of the hardened mold mass bearing the tooth impression. The mold tray includes a saliva drainage device (64), which extends along the inside edge area turned toward the tongue and/or along the outside edge turned toward the cheek or lip and is removably connected with the outer and/or inner side wall (22, 16). For improved adaptation, an elastic and/or moldable insulation and balancing element (48) is provided, which during the casting process produces a fluid contact between the molding shell (10) and the membrane or gum.
