A collar assembly is provided which is substantially oval and forms an upstanding peripheral enclosure around the dental impression tray.

The rods pass through spherical coupling members from which depend dowel pins which can enter into the negative impression and are used for retaining the teeth which are subsequently formed by a casting process. | |
