An object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a dental prosthesis capable of properly arranging a dental reinforcement when a dental prosthesis made of resin where the dental reinforcement is arranged is manufactured. The method includes turning information on an intraoral shape into data: designing, in a form of data, a shape of a resin body that is a part formed of resin based on the data; designing, in the form of data, a position of a dental reinforcement that is to be arranged inside the resin body; and forming, in the form of data, a space and an opening that communicates with an outside in the position in the resin body where the dental reinforcement are to be arranged, based on the position, to design a resin body with an opening.

In a method of planning a restorative dental treatment for a patient, at least two dental restorations are digitally constructed (20). In the process, an optimum specification (40) for the insertion of the restorations into the mouth of the patient is calculated (30), wherein the optimum specification for the insertion of the restorations comprises an optimum sequence of the restorations to be inserted; if applicable, including optimum insertion paths for the restorations to be inserted.

Apparatus and method for installing a multi-tooth dental prosthesis in one session are shown and described. A first tool attaches to the jawbone, and serves as a foundation for subsequently used guides. Existing teeth and dental fixtures are removed, and the bone tissue is removed to accommodate the prosthesis. Subsequently, a drill guide is used to drill implant holes. An abutment guide is then used to place abutments. Copings are then installed. Next, the prosthesis may be installed and cemented to the copings. A resinous filler material may be applied to fill gaps and holes in and between the copings and the prosthesis, and is sanded smooth.

Superstructure and dental implant each with an interface that allows direct attachment of the superstructure to the dental implant without the use of an abutment and can be manufactured in a cost-effective manner.

A dental implant, and a manufacturing method for the same. The dental implant includes a form in which, in order to increase the strength of the connection between a metallic abutment and a dental prosthesis, the abutment and the prosthesis are integrally connected, wherein the prosthesis and the abutment are integrally connected to each other by means of a forming method.

An abutment for implant including a connect reducing a diameter of a screw hole according to the present invention includes: a base provided with a coupling hole having a screw thread penetrating therethrough in a height direction of a central portion; a connector having a screw thread formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof to be threaded with the coupling hole of the base and having a screw hole penetrating along a height direction of a central portion; and a screw inserted into the screw hole to be threaded with a coupling hole and a fixture.

Dental implant comprising an implant body having on an outer side an external thread for fastening the dental implant to a jaw bone and having an opening extending along a longitudinal axis of the dental implant. The opening comprises an internal thread for fastening a superstructure to the dental implant. The implant body further comprises an interface for fastening the superstructure to the dental implant, which interface is arranged at a front end of the implant body. The dental implant further comprises an anti-rotation element which is configured to prevent rotation of the superstructure around the longitudinal axis relative to the dental implant, wherein the anti-rotation element is configured as a component separate from the implant body, which is attached to the implant body in an area of the interface.

A resinous filler material may be applied to fill gaps and holes in and between the copings and the prosthesis, and is sanded smooth. The first tool, the guides, and the prosthesis are predesigned and prefabricated based on images taken of the patient anatomy.

The present invention relates to a dental prosthesis forming block (10) for producing a dental prosthesis (50). The forming block having a pin (20) with a self-tapping outer thread, which is arranged on a first surface (11) of the dental prosthesis forming block (10). The invention further relates to a method for producing a dental prosthesis (50). In this method the dental prosthesis block (10) is provided and the dental prosthesis (50) is produced by removing material from the dental prosthesis forming block (10) by a CAD/CAM method, such that the pin (20) forms part of the finished dental prosthesis (50).
