The subject matter of the instant invention relates to a dental implant surgical apparatus and system comprising a customized dental ridge augmentation matrix and one or, optionally, a plurality of dental implant surgical drill guides, and methods of use thereof.

An artificial tooth element which is insertable into a cavity of a prosthesis base and has an outer part and an inner part. The outer part is the part of the artificial tooth element which is visible in the inserted state. Consequently, the inner part is the part of the artificial tooth element which is not visible in the inserted state. The inner part has a surface which has, at least partially, in particular completely, a defined surface roughness.

A dental intraoral device that is worn within an oral cavity, the dental intraoral device comprising a resin base portion that follows a shape of the oral cavity. At least a part of the base portion is formed into a mesh shape. The part of the base portion is preferably formed by approximately regularly arranging unit regions having holes.

The invention comprises an improved method and system for building a denture. The invention further comprises a technique for building teeth and a denture base in a digital space. The invention even further comprises a method for adapting a digital denture base contemporaneously with changes made to digital teeth on the same model.

A dental multi-colored milling blank having at least two layers (16), a transition zone, where material from both layers is present. In the transition zone, a transition geometry exists that extends three-dimensionally. The transition geometry comprises round surfaces facing towards both directions of extension of the layers.

A system and a method for providing a model of a superstructure joining a denture and a corresponding dental arch, the method includes the steps of obtaining a first 3D representation of at least a part of a preliminary model of the denture, obtaining a second 3D representation of at least a part of the dental arch comprising dental implants, and generating a model of a superstructure based on the first 3D representation, the second 3D representation, dental implant positions and dental implant orientations.
