A dental machining system for manufacturing a dental restoration including: a dental tool machine (1) which has: a dental blank holder for holding at least one dental blank (2) relatively movably with respect to one or more dental tools (3); one or more driving units (4) each for movably holding at least one dental tool (3) for machining the dental blank (2), a control unit for controlling the dental blank holder and the driving units (4) based at least on a temporal trajectory of the dental tool (3) relative to the dental blank (2) and a spatial amount of material removal from the dental blank (2) along the temporal trajectory. The control unit executes a trained artificial intelligence algorithm.

A method of making an all-zirconium one-piece dental implant has: oral scanning after implantation of artificial tooth roots, 3D archiving, making temporary dentures, and making integrated permanent dentures. The oral scanning is executed by an optical scanner and generates a digital file of a denture model, a five-axis processing machine makes a temporary denture according to the digital file of the denture model to provide fitting information to modify the digital file of the denture model or make a permanent denture. Making the permanent denture with an all-zirconium material without metal support comprises the five-axis processing machine forming a through hole in the permanent denture.

Methods and apparatuses, including systems, for forming and modifying treatment plans, including modifying treatment plan in real time. In particular are methods and apparatuses for modifying and orthodontic treatment plan in real time that may include the use of an enhanced user interface including a 3D user overlay.

A drilling jig for drilling a drill hole into a jaw of a patient for a medical tooth implant. The drilling jig includes a prosthesis adapted to at least one of teeth and the jaw of the patient and a drilling model. The prosthesis has a bipartite design and includes an individualized part adapted to the teeth, and a standardized plate part with at least two reference markers suitable to provide reference points in digital images of the prosthesis and a first coupling part which couples the drilling model to the prosthesis. The drilling model is a standardized part which includes a drill channel adapted to the medical tooth implant, and a second coupling part adaptable to the prosthesis so that the prosthesis and the drilling model are connectable with each other through the first and second coupling parts.

A system and a method for providing a model of a superstructure joining a denture and a corresponding dental arch, the method includes the steps of obtaining a first 3D representation of at least a part of a preliminary model of the denture, obtaining a second 3D representation of at least a part of the dental arch comprising dental implants, and generating a model of a superstructure based on the first 3D representation, the second 3D representation, dental implant positions and dental implant orientations.

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.

An implant to retain facial or dental prostheses includes a bone-engaging portion, a transmucosal portion, and an abutment portion. The bone-engaging portion of the implant includes a longitudinally extending distal portion formed of a conformal microscale cell structure and, optionally, a non-biological coating. The transmucosal portion includes a plurality of micro holes. The abutment portion of the implant may be polished to a mirrored or super-mirrored finish.

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.
