METHOD FOR PRODUCING A MOLDED BODY AND MOLDED BODY
By using key structures which allow an unambiguous relative positioning, it is possible to produce mold blanks consisting of several layers, from which molded bodies can be produced by machining in an automated manner. These bodies may not only have an irregular but predefined shape, but they also have at least one irregular but predefined parting surface between two layers, the positioning on this parting surface relative to the surface being predefined.
DENTAL DEVICES AND SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MAKING THE SAME
Dental devices and systems and methods for making the same are provided. In at least one embodiment, a computer readable medium containing instructions for fabricating an arch-shaped device for coupling to a patient's mouth is provided. The instructions can include using a denture form device to obtain an impression of a patient's mouth. The instructions can also include selecting an arch device and adapting that arch device to conform to a model of a patient's mouth, such that the adapted arch device may be used to ultimately form a denture.
Oral device, manufacturing apparatus and methods of making the same
A custom oral device is provided that fits on the maxillary or mandibular arch of a wearer. The oral device comprises a tray that corresponds with the shape and size of a wearer's oral anatomy. A soft liner is disposed within an occlusal channel of the tray having an upper surface that comprises an impression having features that correspond to at least a portion of the wearer's dentition and in which the wearer's teeth align. An apparatus and a method for making the custom oral device are provided.
Dental devices and systems and methods for making the same
Dental devices and systems and methods for making the same are provided. In at least one embodiment, a method for fabricating an arch-shaped device for coupling to a patient's mouth is provided. The method can include adjusting a denture form device to conform to a shape and fit of a patient's mouth. The method can also include using the denture form device to obtain an impression of the patient's mouth. The method can also include selecting an arch device and adapting that arch device to conform to a model of a patient's mouth. The method can also include a denture form device that can be combined with the arch device to form a complete denture.
Method for producing an artificial gingiva
The invention relates to a method for producing an artificial gingiva, in which a 3D model of the artificial gingiva is already provided. A gingiva template representing at least partial areas of the 3D model of the artificial gingiva is constructed as a negative mold using the 3D model of the artificial gingiva.
Nanodiamond-containing composite material for denture construction
A curable composite material containing nanodiamonds, denture bases and other dental prosthetics made from the composite material and methods for treating dental stomatitis using these prosthetics.
Dental prosthesis, associated semi-finished product and kit
A dental prosthesis having a prosthesis base and a set of teeth, namely a full set of teeth or a partial set of teeth, is provided, wherein the prosthesis base comprises at least one dental recess for receiving the set of teeth, and wherein the set of teeth is glued into the at least one dental recess by an adhesive. In the dental recess and/or in or at the set of teeth an adhesive channel is configured which extends along the at least one dental recess or the dental arch in its main direction of extension. It starts at an adhesive filling opening whose configuration is adapted to a filling element.
Method for manufacture of a removable dental prosthesis by moulding with the aid of a mould formed by additive manufacture
Disclosed is a method for manufacture of a removable dental prosthesis by moulding, the method including: digital modelling of a prosthesis model; a step of producing a mould including a lower half-shell corresponding to a tooth part of the prosthesis and an upper half-shell corresponding to a gum part of the prosthesis, the two half-shells being able to be joined together by affixing one to the other, thereby forming an impression of the prosthesis, the step including digital modelling of a model of the mould, followed by additive manufacture of at least the lower half-shell, and a step of producing the prosthesis, the step including in succession at least one provision of at least one artificial tooth, positioning of the artificial tooth in a seat of the lower half-shell, assembling the mould and pouring a filler material into the mould. Also disclosed is a prosthesis obtained by this method.
