ABSTRACT:
A dental shim insertable between two adjacent teeth adapted in the restoration procedure of a decayed tooth comprises a unitary, flexible metallic body having an arcuate top portion and an arcuate bottom portion. The shim comprises at least one notch in the edge of the top portion thereof to facilitate positioning of the shim between the two teeth and to provide a release of strain induced by adapting the shim to a tooth curvature. The shim may include an apron member formed in the bottom portion and a lining veneer covering the concave surface of its bottom. The shim is easily removable after the tooth restoration is complete.
