Modelling material which includes (a) at least one radically polymerizable monomer, (b) at least one initiator for the radical polymerization and (c) at least one inert component. The inert component (c) is soluble in the polymer formed by polymerization of the monomer (a), wherein the solubility of component (c) decreases as the temperature increases, with the result that a phase separation takes place above a particular temperature. The material is suitable in particular for the production of models of dental restorations for investment casting processes.

An oven (100) for heating a dental object (101), having a chamber (103) for receiving the dental object (101); a radiation source (105) for emitting radiation having a wavelength smaller than 350 nm into the chamber (103); and heating means (113) for heating the dental object (101) in the chamber (103).

A dental treatment device with an energy source is provided which is arranged at least partially in or on a working chamber, comprising a stamp which is movable in relation to the dental treatment device as for the rest and which comprises a receiving plate for dental restoration parts. It is provided that the working chamber has a through-opening at the top, into which the receiving plate (16) is at least partially movable. Further, a drive is provided for the transfer of the stamp from a working position into a presentation position, and optionally vice versa. A cover (32) is mounted, in particular hinged, on the dental treatment device as for the rest, by which cover the through-opening (26) is closable.

Dental devices and systems and methods for making the same are provided. In at least one embodiment, a computer readable medium containing instructions for fabricating an arch-shaped device for coupling to a patient's mouth is provided. The instructions can include using a denture form device to obtain an impression of a patient's mouth. The instructions can also include selecting an arch device and adapting that arch device to conform to a model of a patient's mouth, such that the adapted arch device may be used to ultimately form a denture.

The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for providing a template for a casting matrix configured for casting one or more artificial gingiva parts of a removable denture. The casting matrix comprises one or more recesses. Each of the recesses has a 3D geometric form, which is a negative of a 3D geometric form of a section of the removable denture with one of the artificial gingiva parts to be casted.

A wax model of a required coping is produced using CNC machining techniques based on a virtual model of the coping created from digital data obtained from the intraoral cavity. The dental coping is then fabricated from the wax model.
