Abstract:
A finger mounted device for assisting a dental procedure mainly comprises: a ring gripping a finger and a platform provided with an upstanding sidewall, two bosses and at least one recessed compartment, wherein the ring and the platform are formed in a continuous structure. Further, the device is modular as the platform can engage and disengage with different types of inserts such as a form insert and a deep well insert, wherein both inserts are removably attached atop of the platform. The form insert is disposable and replaceable and serves a cleaning surface to wipe a dental tool clean. The deep well insert enables the device to hold more volume of a dental substance.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of using a freehand ring comprising:\n (a) supplying at least one said freehand ring, each said freehand ring comprising:\n a ring comprising a substantially circular band, a finger passage axis, a band top, and a pair of distal ends of said band, wherein said ends form a gap therebetween to accommodate fingers of various sizes; \n a platform having a generally rectangular tray-like configuration; integrally comprising a front surface, a back surface opposed thereto, a long axis crossing a center of width, and a short axis crossing a center of length, wherein said front surface is further provided with an upstanding sidewall extending from a long periphery of said platform, two upstanding bosses extending from two corners facing said sidewall, and at least one compartment defined by an opening at said front surface, a base recessed therefrom, and an inner wall extending upwardly from an outer edge of said base to form an interior space for containing gel and alternately liquid; \n wherein said band top is continually connected to the center of said back surface, and said finger passage axis is generally parallel to said long axis and perpendicular to said short axis; \n a deformable form insert having a shape in accordance with inner edges of said front surface, whereby said form insert is removably attachable atop of said front surface as being secured and surrounded by said upstanding sidewall and said bosses; and \n a deep well insert comprising an overplay portion shaped in accordance with the exterior geometry of said front surface for creating a deep well, and a peripheral portion downwardly extending from fringes of said overplay portion, whereby said deep well insert is removably attachable atop of said front surface as being secured and surrounded by said upstanding sidewall and said bosses; and \n (b) placing said ring on a finger so that said band grips said finger and remains in place thereon;
