## Claims

### Claim 1

A kit for preparing, fitting and placing periodontal prosthodontics comprising:
a. at least one single finger covering;
b. a periodontal prosthetic; and
c. at least one bilayered adhesive patch comprising:
a first layer and a second layer, the first and second layers being separably joined by a weak adhesive configured to form a light separable attachment between the first and second layers, wherein:
(1) one external side of the first layer is attached by a strong adhesive to the single finger covering, the strong adhesive being configured to keep the first layer attached to the single finger covering while the first and second layers are being separated, and
(2) an external side of the second layer has a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive wherein the pressure sensitive adhesive is coupled to the periodontal prosthetic for placing inside a mouth such that when the single finger covering is removed from the periodontal prosthetic, the two layers separate and the second layer with the pressure sensitive adhesive remains on the periodontal prosthetic and the first layer remains on the single finger covering.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The kit according to claim 1 wherein the single finger covering is a finger cot, a rigid band or a flexible band.

### Claim 3

A kit for preparing, fitting and placing periodontal prosthodontics comprising:
a. at least one single finger covering;
b. a periodontal prosthetic;
c. dental cement; and
d. at least one bilayered adhesive patch comprising:
a first layer and a second layer, the first and second layers being separably joined by a weak adhesive configured to form a light separable attachment between the first and second layers, wherein:
(1) one external side of the first layer is attached by a strong adhesive to the single finger covering, the strong adhesive being configured to keep the first layer attached to the single finger covering while the first and second layers are being separated, and
(2) an external side of the second layer has a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive wherein the pressure sensitive adhesive is coupled to the periodontal prosthetic for placing inside a mouth wherein the periodontal prosthetic is secured with the dental cement such that when the single finger covering is removed from the periodontal prosthetic, the two layers separate and the second layer with the pressure sensitive adhesive remains on the periodontal prosthetic and the first layer remains on the single finger covering.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)
