Dental welding device and system

A multi-mode dental welding system for welding a dental element in accordance with a multi-pulse welding sequence, said system comprising:

• mode selection means operable by a user of the system for selecting a first mode wherein the multi-pulse welding sequence is entered, stored and tested in a single operation, and for selecting a second mode wherein the user enters address information defining a storage location of the multi-pulse welding sequence;
• input means for entering the multi-pulse welding sequence in the first mode;
• memory means having storage locations for storing the multi-pulse welding sequence;
• address selection means operable by the user in the second mode for entering the address information defining the storage location in said memory means of the multipulse welding sequence;
• and
• welding means for welding the dental element in accordance with the multi-pulse welding sequence entered via said input means in the first mode and defined by the address information entered via the address selection means in the second mode.
