International Classification:

A61C019/10

US Classification:

433026000

Abstract:

A method for selecting color for a dental prosthesis, preferably for achieving a desirable cosmetic effect. The method includes: determining a skin color from a first pantone of colors; determining a eye color from a second pantone of colors; selecting a shape of the dental prosthesis; and correlating the skin color, the eye color and the shape to a particular color for the dental prosthesis. In one embodiment, the first pantone of colors is based on a predetermined-selection of patient skin colors and a predetermined selection of patient skin complexions, and the second pantone of colors is based on a predetermined selection of patient eye colors. In one illustrative embodiment a percentage of a particular pantone color is utilized to achieve the desired cosmetic effect. Further the method may be carried out on a computer or over a computer network to provide a modified digital image of the patient to illustrate the cosmetic effect of a specific selection.

US Classification:

222538

Abstract:

A tube holder has been invented for holding a spray tube for use with a nozzle of a spray can, the tube holder, in one aspect, having a ring stretchable or non-stretchable for encircling part of the spray can (e. g. body, nozzle, or nozzle projection) for mounting the tube holder to the spray can, an interconnection member having a first end and a second end, the first end connected to or formed integrally with the ring, and a holding member connected to or formed integrally with the second end of the interconnection member. In one embodiment the holding member is a ring (stretchable or non-stretchable) and in another embodiment the holding member is a body with at least one slit opening therethrough, the spray tube insertable through and removably holdable in the at least one slit opening. The present invention discloses a spray can with any such tube holder and with a hollow spray tube.
