  • Patent number: 5810593
    Abstract: A process for producing and installing a three-dimensional ornamental jewelry dental appliance onto a target tooth selected by the patient without employing a crown is disclosed, as is the structure of the ornamental appliance itself. The dental appliance is made by making an impression of the target tooth, creating a mold from that impression and casting a noble metal appliance from a lost wax mold having a rear wall that conforms exactly to the surface of the target tooth. Registration of the ornamental appliance with a target area of the target tooth is assured by use of an indexing tab integrally molded with the ornamental appliance. The rear surface of the dental appliance and surface of the tooth are etched to improve bonding. A dentist applies a cement to the rear surface of the ornamental appliance and a catalyst to the tooth, then presses the dental appliance against the tooth and removes the indexing tab.
