I, HENRY JAMES MILLER, of 10, Rue de la Monnaie, Paris, in the Republic of
France, Dentist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
It has been usual heretofore, in mounting molar teeth on india-rubber or
vulcanite cases or mounts, in certain cases, to place on the outside of the case or
mount a mask or dummy molar tooth of mineral material and to form the inner
part of the crown or cusps of the tooth of unvulcanized india-rubber which is
compressed and is afterwards subjected to vulcanization at the same time as the
mount or case, in order to harden it.
This method of procedure, in addition to its requiring considerable time, often
leaves much to be desired as regards the form of the tooth, which is imperfectly
endered.
To obviate these disadvantages. I have devised a new kind of artificial teeth.
which is produced by means of unhardened or unvulcanized rubber or previously
hardened or vulcanized rubber. This mixture of india-rubber is afterwards
placed in suitable moulds.
The teeth, or crowns or inner cusps or parts of teeth, thus produced and prepared
in advance, are arranged in their proper place on the mount or case, which is then

of the teeth is thus effected at the same time as the mount or case.
If desired the improved teeth or crowns or cusped surface of teeth, can be
hardened in advance, so as to enable them to be mounted on metallic cases or
mounts.
I can not only produce entire crowns or cusped grinding surfaces and teeth as
above mentioned, but can even produce a complete set of teeth entirely replacing
mineral teeth.

France. Dentist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:-
It has been usual, in certain cases, in mounting molar teeth on india-rubber
or vulcanite cases or mounts, to place on the outside of the case or mount a mask or
dummy molar tooth of mineral material and to form the inner part of the crown
or cusps of the tooth of unvulcanized india-rubber which is compressed and is
afterwards subjected to vulcanization at the same time as the mount or case, in
order to harden it.
This method of procedure, in addition to its requiring considerable time, often
leaves much to be desired as regards the form of the tooth, which is imperfectly
rendered.
To obviate these disadvantages, I have devised improved artificial teeth,
which are produced by means of unhardened or unvulcanized rubber or previously
hardened or vulcanized rubber. This mixture of india-rubber is afterwards
placed in suitable moulds.
The teeth, or the crowns or inner cusps or parts of teeth, thus produced and pre-
pared in advance, are arranged in their proper place on the mount or case, which

vulcanization of the teeth is thus effected at the same time as that of the mount
or case.
If desired the improved teeth, or crowns or cusped surfaces of teeth, can be
hardened in advance, so as to enable them to be mounted on metallic cases or
mounts.
I can not only produce entire crowns or cusped grinding surfaces and teeth as
above mentioned, but can even produce a complete set of teeth entirely replacing
mineral teeth.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
The manufacture of improved artificial teeth, substantially as hereinbefore
described and for the purpose specified.
