ABSTRACT:
There is provided an improved mouth prop for dental patients in the form of a tapered block made of pliable styrene material. A portion of one side of the block is concaved so as to more readily provide access to the patient's mouth and improve visibility. The block includes a pair of flanges extending from the top and bottom thereof on the cheek side to aid in stabilizing the block and to keep soft tissue away from the working area of the mouth and to channel saliva away from the working area.
