Mosby's medical dictionary defines a stent as "1. a compound used in making dental impressions and medical molds. 2. a mold or device made of stent, used in anchoring skin grafts and for supporting body openings and cavities during grafting of vessels and tubes of the body during surgical anastomosis."Il A recent history of medicine describes stents as "custom-built steel or hard plastic tubes [which] can be inserted under angioscopic or ultrasound guidance, to prevent the collapse of blood vessels and ducts."" Dorland's medical dictionary stresses its use as a molded appliance used to hold a graft in place or act as an obturator.' No matter the uses, the term originated with a material devised by a dentist to enable him to more easily secure better and more accurate impressions of the mouth and oral structures.18
