<p>Method and apparatus are disclosed for providing identification on the dental work in a human mouth. The tool includes a plurality of tines arranged in a predetermined pattern. Each tine permits the indentation in the dental work of an index point. The tool also includes a plurality of digit indicators each secured to a tine and each positioned on a radial extending from the index point. The positioning of each digit indicator is determined by superimposing a two dimensional coordlnate system over the index point and dividing the coordlnate system into quadrants. Each quadrant includes a plurality of equally spaced radials each one representing a different decimal digit. The digit indicators simultaneously imprint or indent the dental work with the index points such that the resulting pattern left on the dental work is a code comprising a plurality of decimal digits representing the dental operator or dentist. Such code is useful for positive identification purposes.</p> |
