I have used the lighter technique several times to repair dents. As mentioned above, this only works if there has been a dent, not a scratch or removal of material.
It is not that hard, but don't be surprised if you burn your first mouthpiece. It takes a few tries to get it right.
To start out, turn on the fire, and keep it stationary (candle, torch on low setting, etc), point the dented area near the flame and move it closer and closer. It is always better to keep it too far than too close, so don't be in a hurry to get it done.
When the mpc is the right distance to warm up, the dent will move back after about 5-10 seconds. That is a long time, so don't be too close. It can work being a little farther and waiting 20 seconds.
