Abstract
The invention relates to a mold for producing the model of a tooth from a dental impression (28), comprising a peripheral wall (12), a model plate (38) which is tightly arranged on the top thereof and an impression spoon (14) bearing the dental impression (28). Said spoon is tightly inserted into the lower end of the peripheral wall (12). The hollow cavity (42) thus obtained is filled with molding material to give a highly precise tooth model requiring no further mechanical processing.
