A crown and root dental restoration includes a prosthesis having at least one through canal having one end opening into at least one root canal and opening into an outer face of the restoration, the through canal forming with the root canal a cavity extending along a first direction; reinforcement pins arranged in the root canal and the through canal, at least one reinforcement pin connecting the through canal with the root canal, the reinforcement pins having a length smaller than a total height of the through canal and a dental root; and a glue filling the root canal and the through canal, the glue contacting sidewalls of the through canal, sidewalls of the root canal, and sidewalls of each reinforcement pin.

A reinforcement structure for a crown and root tooth restoration includes: a plurality of reinforcement pins having diameters ranging from 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm, an etching canal facilitating access to an infected apex, in the crown and root restoration, a joining element configured to group the plurality of reinforcement pins together so as to form a bundle of pins, the joining element partially covering the length of the reinforcement pins.

The invention relates to a dental post formed from a composite of fibers and a matrix material, wherein X-ray markers are embedded in the matrix material and the X-ray markers are formed from visible and/or UV light reflective material. According to another aspect of the invention, the X-ray markers are concentrated in a central region of the dental post. The dental post has very good mechanical properties and allows visible and/or UV light to pass through to cure an adhesive disposed on the dental post.

The present invention provides novel multi-functional (e.g., repelling biofilms, promoting formation of minerals, and having anti-infection properties) biocomposites and methods of use thereof. In various embodiments, the present invention also provides method for simultaneously treating biofilms, promoting mineralization, treating infection, or any combination thereof.

The present invention relates generally to a denture attachment. More particularly, the present invention relates to a denture attachment, wherein a user can detachably fasten a first fastening part coupled to a denture to a second fastening part placed on top of a natural tooth's root or implant fixture by a simple operation, and furthermore, even when occlusal force is continuously applied to the denture, the applied force can be buffered by an elastic rib structure of the attachment itself. Consequently, it is possible to extend not only lifespan of the attachment, but also lifespan of the implant fixture or natural tooth's root, and to provide superior performance with a significantly smaller volume than existing attachments, while providing excellent durability.

A set of baseline stents of people's teeth of different sizes may be used for a process to create temporary dental coverings. A range of sizes of the baseline stents may range from a smallest size to a largest size. A measurement of a stone-based model formed from a mold taken of the patient's natural teeth and gums may be made using a measurement tool. The measurement may include measuring from a left-side tooth to a corresponding right-side tooth. In an embodiment, unique identifiers (e.g., “A”-“N”) may be given to each of the baseline stents, and the measurement tool may show an identifier when the measurement is made. The baseline stent may be used to augment the model used to form a patient-specific stent used to take an impression of the patient's prepped teeth. The temporary dental coverings may be sculpted, shined, and attached to the prepped natural teeth.
