Embodiments of the invention can accommodate multiple variations and goals of impressions, including but not limited to dental and orthodontic models. To adapt embodiments of the invention for multiple purposes, and to standardize the process, embodiments include a housing that allows for impressions to be suspended and/or sealed in the housing so that modelling material can pour up the impression, form a model base or some other type of design, and/or articulate the models if desired, without the need for or with reduced need for trimming and substantial reduction of time and use of modelling material (hereafter “MM”) like gypsum, stone, plaster, resin, etc. Embodiments allow models to be created and formed and articulated if desired. Professionals may pour up impressions, form base models, and, optionally, articulate models, allowing less waste, material, and use of time than traditional and current methods.
A dental casting system configured to duplicate at least a portion of a patient's dental anatomy, the system comprising:
The system of claim 10, where the enclosure further comprises an at least one perforated edge.
The system of claim 11 where the at least one normalizing element is an at least one tray border with trimming dimensions.
The system of claim 11 where the at least one normalizing element is a sealing agent that directs and reduces flow in a desired design.
The system of claim 12 where at least one section of the tray border directs formation below MMTT.
A casting holder comprised of An at least one male locking slot, an at least one female locking slot, a space for receiving the posterior end of a cast housing for vertical stationary, where the space is capable of receiving at least one of the group of maxillary cast, mandibular cast, orthodontic mandibular cast, and orthodontic maxillary cast.
The casting holder of claim 17 where the holder has two female and two male locking components for creating rows and columns.
The system of claim 24, further comprising housing elements that are leak traps that reduce excess stone requirements and further reduce the need for trimming or grinding.
The system of claim 24, where the predetermined amount of stone used leaves excess stone no larger than MMTT.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
