摘要:
Non-customized dental treatment trays (100) used to provide a desired treatmentare formed from elastomeric silicone or silicone-like material. They may beinjection molded from a two-part liquid silicone composition or a silicone-likeTPE material (e.g., preferably SEBS and/or VERSAflex thermoplastic elastomer).The dental treatment trays (100) possess high adaptability, flexibility, softness,and elastic elongation while also exhibiting resiliency in order to readilyconform to the ridges, depressions and contours of a person's teeth duringuse. The trays (100) possess a greater ability to adhere to a person's teethcompared to non-elastomeric thermoplastic materials. Due to their high adaptabilityand conformability, the non- customized dental trays (100) behave like a semi-customdental tray when placed over conformed to a person's teeth, particularlywhen used in combination with a sticky, viscous treatment composition.
