A curable and radiopaque substance, a material that can be produced from same via polymerisation, a method for producing the curable substance and the cured material, and the use of the curable substance or the cured material are disclosed. The curable substance or the cured material can be used in, inter alia, orthopaedics as so-called bone cement, in particular as a tooth filling material, dental cement, dental lining material, flowable composite material (flow material) etc., as well as in diagnostic radiology. The invention also relates to the use of the curable substance generally as a construction material in an additive manufacturing process using a digital data model.

The invention relates to an odontological biomaterial called “ANCLA Post”. The post is used as a reconstruction means in anterior and posterior teeth, the cylindrical, conical design of the extension and anchor-shaped design of the apical end allowing forces to be adequately distributed to prevent the fracturing of the tooth and to keep same repairable and usable for a long time. The post is characterized in that it is made of fiberglass, resin or polymer, and is white and radiopaque.

A temporary cylinder for snap-in retention with an elongate dental implant includes an elongate body extending from a first end to a second end, the elongate body being generally cylindrical and having an upper portion and a lower engagement portion and the temporary cylinder's lower engagement portion includes a male irregular hexagonal plug, and wherein the dental implant includes a female regular hexagonal socket, and wherein the male irregular hexagonal plug and the female regular hexagonal socket are configured for inter-engagement with each other, and the fitment of the irregular hexagonal plug and regular hexagonal socket together with one another results in a frictional fit when inter-engaged.

An auxiliary instrument according to the present invention is an auxiliary instrument for dental use used as a reference of alignment for creating three-dimensional intraoral image data by connecting a plurality of pieces of three-dimensional image data obtained by three-dimensionally measuring an inside of an oral cavity, the auxiliary instrument including a sheet portion having a first surface and a second surface opposed to the first surface, and a plurality of identification portions formed in a thickness direction (Z direction) of the sheet portion from the first surface of the sheet portion, each of the plurality of identification portions having a three-dimensional shape configured to be identified.

The invention relates to a radiation-curable radiopaque dental composition comprising a resin matrix comprising cross-linkable component(s) as Component A, ethylenically unsaturated component(s) with acidic moiety as Component B, an initiator system comprising photoinitiator(s) as Component C, reducing agent(s) as Component D, Component A containing at least two (meth)acrylate moieties and a brominated aromatic moiety selected from brominated resorcinol, catechol, tyrosol, benzoic acid, or phenol moieties. The composition can be used for producing an x-ray visible dental adhesive composition, restoration primer or dental sealant.

Fastening element and system for introduction in the canals of teeth to be treated, being used alone or together with a prefabricated intra-radicular pin serving as a root reinforcement or an anchorage of prostheses to be installed on the tooth, said fastening element comprises:a body of parallel or conical shape;a parallel or tapered longitudinal through bore; anda main longitudinal slot running from the upper end to the lower end of the body of the fastening element.

A system for performing dental surgery on a subject includes a central processing unit that controls automated operation of the system and a display that renders an image of a target tooth requiring surgical intervention. The image of a target tooth is created from an image file received from the CPU. An input device receives surgical instructions from a user for providing the surgical intervention with the instructions being subsequently received by the central processing unit. The instructions include visual indications on the image of a target tooth that are to be treated. The system also includes a segmented dental handpiece that has a first segment attached to a second segment. The second segment is attached to a dental drill head and is movable with respect to the first segment under control of the CPU. The first segment can be held stationary relative to the target tooth by an operator.

The present invention relates to a dental device adapted to be connected to a dental implant fixture, wherein the device at least comprises an scan body comprising polyether ether ketone (PEEK) adapted to be connected to the dental implant fixture and adapted to be captured by a scanning device, and a customizable gingiva body mounted to the scan body in a fixed position, wherein the gingiva body comprises a thermoplastic polymer adapted to be captured by a scanning device and at least partially comprising a polymer comprising a melting point of 35 C. and 80 C. In addition, the invention relates to a process for the production of a customized dental model and the use of a digital model obtained by the inventive process to produce customized crown models.

An intra-procedure dental implant stabilization and healing system that includes a soft tissue forming scanning abutment and associated, temporary crown. After initial implant placement, a scanning abutment of the present system is attached to the implant and serves, both as a scanning body and, in combination with a temporary crown attached thereto, as a healing cap. Use of the system obviates an additional surgical incision to reach recipient osseointegrated implant, as is required in conventional implant procedures, as well as the need for a conventional impression coping, separate healing cap, temporary abutment and temporary crown.

The apparatus and methods disclosed utilize a healing assembly including a prosthetic shoe and a healing sleeve that, when used in mating combination, allow the radiographic capture of the prosthetic shoe as it relates to the dental implant surface(s) and the exact orientation of the final prosthetic tooth set-up to provide all information required in one step, for final CAD/CAM of the final fixed prosthetic bridge.
