ENZYME SENSOR AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE
[Object] To provide an enzyme sensor and an electronic device that can more accurately measure the amount of the enzyme contained in the body fluid of the subject. [Solution] An enzyme sensor including: a pair of electrodes; an electron transfer layer held between the pair of electrodes; and an electron generating capsule in which a membrane containing at least a substrate of an enzyme to be detected encloses at least one or more kinds of enzymes other than the enzyme to be detected, the electron generating capsule being in contact with the electron transfer layer.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING LAYERED DENTURES
A method of manufacturing a layered denture in which the enamel layer or the tooth layer is manufactured first and the denture base is manufactured last. The resulting denture may exhibit an enamel layer or a tooth layer with enhanced strength and/or resiliency. The resulting denture may have one or more of an integrated layer, balanced occlusion, and a root approximating structure.
METHOD FOR PRODUCING A PROSTHESIS OR PARTIAL PROSTHESIS
A method for generating a prosthesis or partial prosthesis based on digital data using a plurality of teeth (10) and a prosthesis base (12) to be manufactured, characterized in that the generatively or subtractively generated teeth (10) and/or the generatively or subtractively generated prosthesis base (12) are manufactured having oversize, apart from regions of the teeth (10) and the prosthesis base (12) on which the teeth (10) and the prosthesis base (12) abut against each another and/or are joined or connected to each other, and in that the teeth (10) and/or the prosthesis base (12) are subsequently brought to the desired original dimension, in particular milled, with at least partial removal of the oversize (30, 32).
METHOD FOR PRODUCING A PROSTHESIS OR PARTIAL PROSTHESIS
The invention relates to a method for producing a prosthesis or partial prosthesis based on digital data, using multiple teeth present in a dental arch (14) and a prosthesis base to be produced, characterized in that the prosthesis base is rough-milled by means of a milling tool, i.e. is milled in a first step, and in that the prosthesis base present as a semi-finished product, in particular in regions of the prosthesis base on which the teeth and the prosthesis base abut against each another and/or are to be bonded to each other, is partially milled, i.e. is milled in a second step, by means of an in particular different milling tool, thereby being brought to a target height which corresponds to the desired bonding gap between the prosthesis base and the tooth or dental arch (14).
TOOTH CUTTING GUIDE OR TOOTH RIDGE LAP GUIDE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME
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.
System for preparing teeth for the placement of veneers
Dental instrumentation for use in guiding a cutting tool to remove tooth structure from a working tooth is prepared. A digital model of cutting guide shell structure for placement around a portion of the tooth to be treated is combined with preset tool movements to be made by the cutting tool by one or more processors to define final cutting guide data corresponding to final cutting guide structure for guiding the cutting tool. A digital model of a fixation instrument configuration for fixing the dental instrumentation to an adjacent tooth to the working tooth is combined with the final cutting guide data by one or more processors to define final instrument configuration data corresponding to a final instrument configuration for releasably fixing the dental instrumentation to the adjacent tooth and for guiding the cutting tool in the removal of the tooth structure from the tooth to be treated.
DEVICE FOR SCREWING IN DENTAL IMPLANTS
The present invention relates to a device (1) for screwing dental implants (101) which includes: a screw-in tip (2) comprising a machined actuator (20), suitably shaped to drive the attachment screw (100) for attaching the dental implant (101); a handle (3) comprising an end head (30) in which the screw-in tip (2) is mounted and having an actuation control (31) for actuating the rotation of the screw-in tip (2) in an area opposite to said head (30); and a transmission (32) arranged inside said handle (3) connecting the actuation control (31) to the screw-in tip (2).
WORKING MODEL TO PERFORM A DENTAL PROSTHESIS FOR A TOOTH STUMP, AND METHOD TO MAKE THE WORKING MODEL
The invention relates to a working model to perform a dental prosthesis for a tooth stump, comprising a model mandible with teeth made from resin by means of 3D printing and a detachable model tooth stump. The model tooth stump comprises a main body made from resin by means of 3D printing and a rigid insert introduced in a housing formed in said main body. First fixing means comprised in the rigid insert cooperate with second fixing means, passing through the through holes made in the model mandible with teeth, for integrally attaching the model tooth stump to the model mandible with teeth in a detachable manner.
SPLIT DENTURE
The invention relates to a method for configurating a split denture. A digital 3D model of the denture comprising a plurality of teeth is provided. The digital 3D model of the denture is split into a digital 3D model of a base part and a digital 3D model of a teeth part. The base part comprises a first artificial gingiva portion. Further, the base part is configured to support the teeth part. The teeth part comprises the plurality of teeth of the denture and a second gingiva portion. The teeth part is configured to be mounted on the base part. The digital 3D model of the split denture is provided for generating at least one of the base part and the teeth part.
Method and system for the construction of a dental prosthesis
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.
