An integrated dental porcelain system for making dental prostheses and restorations is provided. The system includes three universal major components: a) opaque porcelain composition; b) pressable dentin ingot; and c) veneering porcelain composition that can be used interchangeably for making restorations. Techniques for making the prostheses and restorations include porcelain fused-to-metal (PFM), press-to-metal (PTM), and either pressed and/or machined all-ceramic methods. The system uses both a hand-layering of veneering porcelain (PFM technique) and a hot-pressing process (PTM and all-ceramic technique) to fabricate the prostheses and restorations.

A dental device is improved in its ability to produce hydroxyl apatite by having a layer of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) deposited thereon. A tile of MTA is prepared, heat treated and sintered to produce a micronized tile of MTA that can then be deposited by physical vapor depositions, hot isostatic pressing, molding or other conventional technique.

A set of healing abutments includes a first healing abutment and a second healing abutment. The first healing abutment has an upper surface with a first code thereon. The first code is associated with a size of the first healing abutment. The second healing abutment has an upper surface with a second code thereon. The second code is associated with a size of the second healing abutment. The first healing abutment and the second healing abutment have the same size. The first code is different from the second code.

A method and system for spraying ceramic powder onto a surface wherein the method eliminates the need for chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)/butane propellants, may include preparing a water soluble suspension polymer mixture; adding the mixture to a bag-on-valve delivery system; and spraying a fine mist coating of the mixture from the bag-on-sale delivery system to the surface.

A dental casting billet material includes: Co as a main component; Cr in a proportion of 26% by mass or more and 35% by mass or less; Mo in a proportion of 5% by mass or more and 12% by mass or less; and Si in a proportion of 0.3% by mass or more and 2.0% by mass or less, wherein the billet material is formed from a sintered body of a metal powder, and the billet material has a relative density of 92% or more and 99.5% or less.

A palladium-based alloy having a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of about 12.0 to about 13.0 and having one or more of the following additive metals: platinum, gallium, molybdenum, tin, silicon, ruthenium, rhenium, indium, tungsten, niobium, boron and lithium.

A set of healing abutments includes a first healing abutment and a second healing abutment. The first healing abutment has an upper surface with a first code thereon. The first code is associated with a size of the first healing abutment. The second healing abutment has an upper surface with a second code thereon. The second code is associated with a size of the second healing abutment. The first healing abutment and the second healing abutment have the same size. The first code is different from the second code.

A connection device (1) between a dental prosthesis, or an abutment framework for a dental prosthesis, and a master model, extending longitudinally between a first end (1a) and a second end (1b). The first end (1a) has a first connecting segment (T1) intended to be received in an implant analog, while the second end (1b) has a second connecting segment (T2) intended to be received in the dental prosthesis or the abutment framework. The first connecting segment (T1) has an outer thread (6), while the second connecting segment (T2) has a cylindrical portion (7).

The invention relates to a dental prosthesis comprising a first inner sub-region which has a first organically polymerized material and a second outer sub-region, which has a second organically polymerized material that is an organically modified and organically polymerized silicic acid (hetero)polycondensate. The first inner sub-region has a flexural strength of over 80 MPa according to DIN EN ISO 4049: 2009 and a lower elastic modulus than the second outer sub-region, while the second, outer sub-region has a flexural strength of at least 100 MPa according to DIN EN ISO 4049: 2009. The first organically polymerized material is preferably also an organically modified and organically polymerized material.

The dental prosthesis can be generated preferably using a mold system consisting of at least one first and a second negative mold, and the second negative mold is shaped so as to form a second cavity, Either both negative molds consist of at least two parts or the first negative mold is a single part and has an opening for the admission of light or IR radiation.

A dental blank is provided for yielding a metal frame having a desired shape according to a dental CAD/CAM system and a machining process. The dental blank is formed from a metal powder sintered body and contains Co as a main component, Cr in a proportion of 26% by mass or more and 35% by mass or less, Mo in a proportion of 5% by mass or more and 12% by mass or less, and Si in a proportion of 0.5% by mass or more and 1.0% by mass or less. Further, part of the Si is silicon oxide, and the ratio of the silicon oxide to the total amount of Si is preferably 10% by mass or more and 90% by mass or less.
