Syringe system for matching tooth composite colors

Claim 1

A syringe system for conveniently and efficiently matching tooth composite colors to natural tooth colors comprising: a) a plurality of delivery syringes, each delivery syringe containing therein a different colored tooth composite, and each said delivery syringe comprising at least the following parts: a barrel in which the tooth composite is contained and which is constructed of an opaque material to prevent light activation of the tooth composite, said barrel comprising a disk outwardly protruding from the barrel; a plunger longitudinally slidable within the barrel for extruding the tooth composite from the barrel; and a removable cap for enclosing the end of the barrel until such time as the tooth composite is to be extruded from the barrel; b) organizing means for displaying the plurality of delivery syringes such that each delivery syringe is prominently visible and wherein the organizing means is configured such that at least some of the plurality of delivery syringes are displayed in horizontal alignment such that the colored part of each delivery syringe is held immediately adjacent to the colored part of each adjacent delivery syringe and wherein the organizing means comprises a lower support and an upper display shelf said upper shelf being comprised of a plurality of openings, each opening being sized so as to easily allow passage of the barrel of each delivery syringe, but prohibit passage of the disk, such that when each delivery syringe is inserted downward into one of the plurality of openings, the disk of each delivery syringe is barred from passage through the opening so that each delivery syringe is suspended between said upper shelf and said lower support and c) wherein at least one of said parts of each delivery syringe is colored so as to match the color of the tooth composite contained in the barrel, whereby the color of the tooth composite in each syringe can be visually perceived simply by looking at the delivery syringes held by the organizing means so that the plurality of delivery syringes together provides a palette of colors from which to match a patient's tooth color.
