The present invention is related to the dentistry field. More precisely, the present invention relates to a system for insertion into the root canal for obtaining a root fastening element to support crowns comprising a sleeve of flexible and moldable material, non-adherent to the walls of the root canal, wherein the sleeve comprises a root section and a crown section which are filled with fibers in different arrangements. In addition, the present invention is related to a method for obtaining a fastening element using the system and root fastening element to support crowns.

A dental all-ceramic restoration and manufacturing method thereof; the outer surface of the dental all-ceramic restoration has neither visible marks remaining from the removal of the connecting bars (7) nor local grinding traces and chipping, and is smooth with uniform structure. The manufacturing method thereof is wet-forming or milling. No connecting bars are needed to connect the dental restoration bodies (3) with a surrounding mould blank or ceramic blank. This eliminates the need for manually cutting off the connecting bars (7) to separate the forming body from the surrounding ceramic blank, further grinding and polishing process to treat the excessively rough outer surface, and thereby reducing the risk of chipping and premature failure. In the manufacturing processes thereof, the hardened ceramic green body (2) made by wet-forming technique has more homogenous microstructure and less particle packing defects than the dry-pressed blanks and partially sintered blanks. Furthermore, higher surface smoothness can be obtained by milling unsintered hardened ceramic green body than by milling partially sintered blanks. The dental all-ceramic restoration has a high degree of surface finish, and can be directly used without polishing, veneering or glazing.

A dental post configured to be fitted within a dental cavity of a tooth being restored. The post comprises a head portion and a foot portion consecutively arranged in an axial direction of the post, the axial direction being defined as a direction in which a central axis of the head portion extends. The foot portion comprises a free lower end such that the post can be inserted into the dental cavity in the axial direction with the lower end inwardly facing a closed inner end of the dental cavity. At least the foot portion is composed of a composite material comprising a resin matrix reinforced with fibers. A method of fabrication of such a dental post, and to set comprising at least two such dental posts. To allow a better adaptability of the dental post to a variety of naturally occurring dental cavities, the foot portion comprises a plurality of rods being separated from one another along the axial direction of the post such that each rod is bendable in a transverse direction with respect to the axial direction.

A custom tool for forming a dental restoration in a mouth of a patient includes a first mold body providing for a customized fit with at least one tooth of the patient. The first mold body includes a portion corresponding with at least a first surface of the tooth and an interproximal portion corresponding with an interproximal surface of the tooth, the interproximal portion being of unitary construction. The first mold body is configured to combine with the tooth of the patient to form a mold cavity encompassing a first portion of missing tooth structure of the tooth.
