Customized Dental Prosthesis for Periodontal or Osseointegration, and Related Systems
20180008213 · 2018-01-11 ·

A dental prosthesis to be integrated into a jaw bone cavity of a pre-identified patient. An example of a dental prosthesis includes a first manufactured portion having a surface shaped to substantially dimensionally conform three dimensionally to an undersized shape of the outer three-dimensional surface shape of a root of a tooth to be replaced, and a second manufactured portion shaped to substantially conform to the three-dimensional surface of a crown of the tooth. The outer surface of the root portion can include or be coated with a biocompatible material that is suitable to be integrated into the extraction socket and adopted by existing tissue forming the socket.

ADHESIVE RETAINER AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR
20230233290 · 2023-07-27 · ·

Proposed is an adhesive retainer including a body part which is formed of a shape memory alloy material and has a front surface in close contact with and attached to each tooth, wherein the body part includes a curved protrusion part which is formed to protrude toward an interdental space so as to be inserted into the interdental space, and multiple support parts having front surfaces which are in close contact with tooth surfaces of teeth outside the interdental space. A manufacturing method of the adhesive retainer includes a step of acquiring three-dimensional scanning data about a tooth arrangement, a data processing step of generating a first processing line and a second processing line, a laser cutting step of laser cutting a flat plate-shaped base material based on processing line data to form a body-part forming part, and a shape processing step of cutting the body-part forming part.
