ABSTRACT:
A small, thin, flat, stiff tab is glued with a hot melt adhesive to the exterior surface of a dental restoration. The tab can then be gripped between a thumb and forefinger while placing the restoration on a tooth to which it is to be laminated. After the restoration is placed on the tooth with permanent bonding material between the restoration and the tooth, the tab is used as a vibrating transmitter to the restoration. The tab is vibrated by positioning a flat-sided dental shaft against an edge of a hole in the tab and rotating the shaft with a dental handpiece. A group of tabs are conveniently supported in slots formed in the upper surface of a support. The slots are dimensioned in relation to the tabs in a manner such that one end of a tab is in a slot while the finger gripping area of the tab extends upwardly, away from the support for convenient gripping by a person's fingers.
