Device for producing tooth replacements, which device has a milling cutter (36) for shaping the front face of the tube portion (16), which milling cutter (36) has at least one abutment face which is intended to bear at least indirectly on a surface of the abutment (10), in particular on the collar (14) of the abutment, and via which milling cutter (36) the length or height of the tube portion (16) of the abutment (10) can be fixed, in particular the tube portion can be shaped. Tool set consisting of a milling cutter (36) and of a sleeve (42), wherein at least one abutment face (76) is formed on the milling cutter and extends towards the sleeve (42), and wherein the sleeve (42) has a supporting face (78), in particular for supporting on an abutment (10).

The invention provides an adapter for a dental milling block holder with a dental milling block (52 and 54) or dental grinding block, which is attached to a dental milling block holder, in particular glued on, wherein the dental milling block holder is provided with a round shank which is mounted in the adapter (40). It is characterized in that the adapter (40) is provided with at least one internal thread (92) for the mounting of a fastening screw (31) which acts on the shank, to which fastening screw (31) inside the shank mount of the adapter (40) of the fastening screw (31) positioned opposite of it, at least one in particular elevated, in particular at least two elevated clamping surfaces (74 and 76) are formed against which the shank abuts.

An object is to provide a polymerization apparatus for dental technique with which both of preliminary polymerization and final polymerization can be carried out by one apparatus. The apparatus includes a plurality of light sources whose light axes run at least in two directions; a cover that covers the light sources, forms a polymerization space inside thereof and switches a formation and closure of an opening that communicates inside and outside the polymerization space; a sensor that detects the formation and closure of the opening by the cover; a controller that receives signals from the sensor, and based on the formation and closure of the opening, turns on some of the light sources having two or more directions of light axis with the opening closed, and turns on some of the light sources having fewer directions of light axis than with the opening closed, with the opening open.

The present inventive concept relates to a method of manufacturing dentures by using a tray cap jig having false teeth fixed unmovably during milling thereof, the tray cap jig, which is depressed, being manufactured according to a rectangular parallelepiped shape or the same shape as the teeth arrangement in an oral cavity set by a dental denture design software of a 3D printer, the method including: manufacturing the tray cap jig of the same shape as the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped container or teeth arrangement in an oral cavity by using the 3D printer; inserting false teeth into a false teeth hole provided in the depressed tray cap jig; and cutting each of roots of the false teeth to a depth set by the dental denture design software after inserting the false teeth into the tray cap jig.

A method of correcting an axial position of a workpiece support (1) used for removing material from a dental workpiece (2) which is held by the workpiece support (1) and is rotated together with the workpiece support (1) about a drive rotation axis (3) when material is being removed. The workpiece support (1) has at least two workpiece support parts (4, 5, 6) which can be separated from each other and connected to each other. One of the workpiece support parts (4, 5) has at least one compensation region (7) with a material projection (8) for introducing a compensation surface (9) by removing material, and the other workpiece support part (6) has a seating surface (10) for connecting to the compensation surface (9) in a form fitting manner.

A retaining device for a dental workpiece includes a retaining ring for receiving the dental workpiece, and a clamping device for clamping the dental workpiece on the retaining ring. The clamping device has a bearing surface for the dental workpiece, and the bearing surface is mounted or formed on the retaining ring and protrudes radially in the direction of the central axis. At least one clamping element is mounted movably on the retaining ring, and in a clamping position, the dental workpiece can be clamped between the clamping element and the bearing surface. The retaining ring has an inner ring element, on which the bearing surface is mounted or formed and on which the clamping element is movably mounted, an outer ring element, and a fixing device for releasably fixing the inner ring element to the outer ring element.
