Method and system for the construction of a total dental prosthesis, wherein the shapes of the upper and lower jaw bases taken in the plastic material are digitized and stored as a digital prosthesis model in a data-processing device, and the upper and lower jaw prosthesis bases are produced from dental materials according to the digital prosthesis model by ablative or constructive methods.

A tooth cutting guide or tooth ridge lap guide for processing at least one prefabricated artificial tooth from a set of prefabricated artificial teeth using a subtractive processing method, the tooth cutting guide comprising a base body, at least one retainer for receiving and positioning the at least one prefabricated artificial tooth, which is formed in the base body, wherein an inner surface of each of the at least one retainer form fits to a first surface area of one of the at least one prefabricated artificial tooth from the set of prefabricated artificial teeth, and at least one through hole which is located in the at least one retainer, wherein the at least one through hole exposes at least a part of a basal surface or an occlusal surface of the one of the at least one prefabricated artificial tooth if inserted into the corresponding retainer.

Also disclosed is a method for manufacturing at least one tooth cutting guide or tooth ridge lap guide for processing prefabricated artificial teeth and a method for producing a denture using first said method.

A tray appliance system is usable for obtaining a bite registration and includes a maxillary tray appliance and optionally a mandibular tray appliance. The maxillary tray appliance includes a first contacting portion that extends downwardly from a first base portion. The first contacting portion includes a first contacting surface, a first ridge line, and a first ridge line midpoint. The optional mandibular tray appliance includes a second contacting portion that includes a second contacting surface, a second ridge line, and a second ridge line midpoint. The first contacting portion and second contacting portion contact each other when a patient bites down with the maxillary tray appliance and the mandibular tray appliance situated in the patient's mouth.

The present disclosure reveals a provisional dental restoration for use at the time of dental implant surgery and while the permanent long-term restoration is being fabricated and implants are healing, which aids in the surgical process and selection of potential abutments at the time of surgery. Also revealed is a new digitally designed impression prosthesis from which the doctor is able of capturing the occlusal record, an impression of the soft tissue and critical aspects of the tooth position and orientation in a single procedure.
