The present invention relates to dental trays for use in taking an impression of a person's teeth, comprising a first section having a longitudinal axis; and a second section sized and shaped so as to be mounted at least partially within said first section, said first and second sections being sized and shaped so as to define a trough therebetween for receiving an impression-taking material, said second section being movable relative to said first section in a first direction which is substantially parallel to said longitudinal axis of said first section, said second section having first and second movable members movably attached to said second section, each of said first and second movable members being movable in a second direction substantially perpendicular to said longitudinal axis in response to the movement of said second section in said first direction. La présente invention concerne divers dispositifs, systèmes, kits et procédés ayant des applications dans le domaine dentaire. Par exemple, un plateau dentaire (10) est équipé pour prendre l'empreinte des dents d'une personne.
