deadland, I must admit I hadn't thought of that.
My brain is fried from looking at pics of teeny tiny files

apparently, it's also called a "finger plugger" or "finger spreader"
on a side note, i also believe the real ones are also metal.
BTW- if you do google those terms, make sure your safe search is "ON"
LOL

most are actually turned by fingers as drills can be excessive and the canal of the tooth is shaped and prepared from smallest file size up to the largest it can take, usually they use fingers as there a better feel for it then to use a drill (other than a gates glidden to remove gutta percha Gates Glidden by SybronEndo or lentulo spiral to work ah26 or rc prep down ) there maybe a chance of perforating the tooth and you can kiss the root canal good bye, most are referred to an endodontist but we still do in the government free health clinic from the premolars to the central incisors.
and yes nate they all look like 15's to me, that to me was the dead giveaway in your first pic post and no 12 post i mentioned the number to check with you all that my eyes were seeing 15 as well.
post 4 of Nates shows the drill type there is a interlocking catchment that engages in the slowspeed drill, some use these but most going the finger method and a root canal can take 3, 1 hour appointments if successful
may have used part of the file to nail/tack/heated pushed through soldered on the other side of silicon? it to the circuit board but not to stick into our mans (Jeremy Bulloch) head as they dont seem to butt up flush with the board (shadow, but could be angle) http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f23/found-part-helmet-keyslot-circuit-board-4206/ kept this way so thay could be tweaked in different directions but without workhardening the metal (file metal) and snapping it off
Nate i reckon you hit a home run here and would bet 100% that this is what they are the 15 is the absolute seller for me! great find

wow! it's awesome to see things like this get discovered. a year from now, everyone will just take it as a given that they use vintage dental files on the back of the helmets.

Even these are better than the NOTHING we have been having....I actually went as far as to take DC15L rifles from my SW figures and cut the ends off and paint them they look almost right that wayThis is a contemporary set called Hedstrom files (H file?), made by J&S Davis Division (a company located just north of London, since 1908)
What did the M.R lid use or am i imagining that they had them on them/ AS IT TURNS OUT THE m,r DID HAVE THEM IN THE EARLY STAGES BEFORE THEY MASS PRODUCED THEM, as seen in the RPF mr Threed strang that they added them to this lid considering the story of 3d digital scanning and using the pp for it were did they come in to it

The MR helmet is a ESB reproduction not ROTJ it has nothing there only the helmets painted by sandy got those
MR lid doesn't have them because the MR lid was a scan of the PP#3 helmet, which doesn't have the little things.Only the helmets painted by Sandy have them, also some jetpacks like the Supertrooper, ESB, and some PrePros (if I'm not wrong also the stunt when filming, hero for publicity, RotJ JP (AoSW) still has the glue where the nub was)
