Abstract
An identification plate of gold alloy is inserted in a small blind hole drilled into the crown of a tooth. The hole is then filled with a durable filler which hardens around the plate to embed it in a durable, heat resistant filling. The filling material can be colored so that it is readily located when identification is desired. For making the identification, the filler is dissolved away to leave the plate, which can be read by means of optical magnification. Also disclosed is an electrical device especially adapted for providing plate blanks with the desired identifying information.
