A tube (2) is formed of surgical mesh and has a closed end (4) and a filling end (5) including an opening (6). The tube (2) is packed with unset activated dental bite registration material forming a package. The package is located in an edentulous region of a patients jaw and teeth, particularly where two or more adjacent teeth are missing. A line of impression material is dispensed from a conventional impression material dispensing gun onto the upper surface of the located package and the occlusal surfaces of the subject's remaining teeth. The subject is then encouraged to bite normally into the package the line of impression material so that the impression material records the relative location of the occlusal surfaces of the subjects teeth during a bite. When the material has set the resulting bite registration (9) is removed. Models of the subjects dentition are fabricated from the conventional tray impressions and are then articulated using the bite registration (9) without requiring a wax block step.

A light curing dental system comprising a light emitting tray that precisely distributes an optimal amount of curing light energy to internal, external and extra oral portions of the dental arch to cure a dental material. The light curing dental system generally includes a light source, a light emitting dental tray, an activation module and a photocurable dental material.

A dental impression tray which in a modular system can be assembled from a plurality of portions which can be connected together and is thus individually adaptable to the patient jaw situation. There may be a universal base tray with insertable additional parts both for lower jaw and also for upper jaw impressions, wherein further adaptation can be implemented by extension portions and by shortening of the portions on the basis of predetermined markings or desired breaking locations. The impression tray may be a thermoplastic material which can be heated and still more precisely formed to the respective jaw geometry within the patient's mouth.
