A customizable implant made of plastic including a thermoplastic which is reinforced with long fibers arranged multidirectionally in a targeted manner and has a modulus of elasticity E of 10-70 GPa is provided. A system for producing a customizable implant including a device for collecting patient data regarding the environment into which an implant is to be inserted, a computer program for creating a model for a customized implant based on the patient data collected, and a device for producing the customized implant based on the calculated model by means of 3D printing and/or laser sintering is also provided.

Provided is a method of forming a customized alveolar bone tissue. The method includes obtaining first data having image information corresponding to an original alveolar bone of an alveolar bone defect, obtaining second data having image information on a defective portion of the alveolar bone defect, calculating third data having image information on a barrier membrane covering the alveolar bone defect by using the first data and the second data, and forming a barrier membrane artificial tissue corresponding to the barrier membrane by using the third data.

The present invention relates to a suspension comprising 50-95% by weight of the total suspension (w/w) of at least one metallic material and/or ceramic material and/or polymeric material and/or solid carbon containing material; and at least 5% by weight of the total suspension of one or more fatty acids or derivatives thereof. In addition, the invention relates to uses of such suspension in 3D printing processes.

A polymerizable adhesive composition containing an olefinically functionalized carbohydrate, a polymerizable liquid monomer, and optionally at least one polymerization initiator or initiator system is described. The adhesive composition is particularly well suited for adhering plastic components as well as is preferably provided with sufficiently long processing time for adhering artificial teeth on denture bases. The viscosity of the adhesive composition may be adjusted to the respected processing conditions.

Methods for generating and providing a full arch prosthesis from a pre-existing prosthesis are presented, starting from the pre-existing prosthesis. This prosthesis is removed from the mouth, scanned, and replaced within the mouth. An intermediate prosthesis is generated from the scan, and modified to match a final physiological target configuration of the patient's mouth. The intermediate prosthesis is used to generate a final virtual representation of the target configuration, from which final virtual representation the final working prosthesis is fabricated. The intermediate prosthesis is mounted in the patient's mouth in sections, for desirable repositioning, sections then being bonded together. Copings can be digitally subtracted to enable press fit new copings to be installed. Alternatively, the intermediate prosthesis can include integrated false copings. The intermediate prosthesis is scanned to generate a final digital model or virtual representation of the desired final prosthesis. The final working prosthesis may then be fabricated using the final virtual representation.

The present disclosure provides methods, devices, systems, and computer-implemented methods for forming and placing attachments for use with dental appliances, and more particularly to the design, manufacture, and use of three-dimensionally printed attachment templates for use with orthodontic devices. Dental attachment templates include a cavity with one or more openings for injecting and bonding attachment material directly on a patient's tooth, which allow accurate placement of the attachments while providing the dental practitioner flexibility during the attachment forming process. Digital dental attachment template model techniques can be used to accurately place the cavity and opening.

A method for monitoring the positioning of the teeth including production of a three-dimensional digital initial reference model of the arches of the patient and, for each tooth, definition, from the initial reference model, of a three-dimensional digital reference tooth model; acquisition of updated image of at least one two-dimensional image of the arches in actual acquisition conditions; analysis of each updated image and production, for each updated image, of an updated map; optionally, determination, for each updated image, of rough virtual acquisition conditions approximating the actual acquisition conditions; searching, for each updated image, for a final reference model corresponding to the positioning of the teeth during the acquisition of the updated image, for each tooth model, comparison of the positionings of the tooth model in the initial reference model and in the reference model obtained at the end of the preceding steps to determine the movement of the teeth

A dental machining system for manufacturing a dental restoration/appliance, including: a dental tool machine which includes: a dental blank holder for movably holding at least one dental blank relative to one or more dental tools; one or more driving units each for movably holding one or more dental tools, a control unit for controlling the dental blank holder and the driving units based on construction data of the dental restoration/appliance and a plurality of machining processes specific for the manufacturing of the dental restoration/appliance from the dental blank. The control unite executes a trained artificial intelligence algorithm that predicts the machining time for manufacturing the dental restoration/appliance based on input data including: process parameters defining the machining processes respectively; and mappings which include information on the target geometry of the dental restoration/appliance.

Reciprocal positions of negative casts (2, 3) upper and lower dental arches, of a subject (S) recipient of a dental prosthesis (1), by means of an attitude detection device (40).

These positions are then transferred to a manual articulator (50) to be able to positionpositive models (20, 30) of the same upper and lower dental arches with a dentation model form for a dental prosthesis (1).

Using a column template (6), (50) adjustments are detected and brought back to an articulator robot (90), operated by actuators (94).

Chewing movements of the subject (S) are video-taped and digitized, so that a program generator (80) provdes a sequence of commands for driving the robot to move the models (20, 30) to replicate mandibular movements of the subject (S) so as to enable evaluation of correctness of the dentation model form, and possibly modify.
