A method of forming a denture is provided. The method includes the steps of: creating a digital data recording of an oral cavity of a patient; merging the digital data recording with additional digital data depicting a gingiva portion of either an upper or a lower denture via a software running on a computer. The gingiva portion includes plurality of tooth sockets and at least one of a male and a female connector disposed therein. The method further includes the step of constructing a first denture portion by a 3D printer. The first denture portion resembles the gingiva portion of the merged digital data.

A method of fabricating a plate denture, comprises: creating a denture plate having a concave socket formed thereon and a vertical groove formed on a bottom surface of the socket; applying an adhesive material to the socket and the vertical groove; embedding a reinforcing structure in the vertical groove to which the adhesive material is applied; and arranging an artificial tooth in the socket to which the adhesive material is applied.

A dental model and related systems and methods, including a first component representing a portion of a patient's jaw and a second component that is demountably attachable to the first component, and a second component representing a dental structure of interest, such as the remaining portion of a tooth or a dental implant.

The array device of an aspect of the present invention is an array device to be attached to a denture plate and one or more artificial teeth to thereby array the one or more artificial teeth on the denture plate, the array device comprising: a body having one or mere recesses recessed in conformity with crown shapes of the one or more artificial teeth, wherein the body includes one or more positioning portions for positioning the one or more artificial teeth on the denture plate.

An implant-supported denture placement and alignment system may include a denture apparatus. The denture apparatus may have a denture base and a denture base positioning system. The denture base may comprise an implant guide system and be connectable to implants. In this manner, the denture apparatus may be positioned so that it is mountable to the implants placed according to the implant guide following their placement in a patient's mouth.

The invention relates to a method for producing a dental prosthesis with: A) provision of a milling body and a prosthesis base preform with a holding structure (34); B) production of a connecting surface in the milling body by a subtractive CAM method; C) production of mating holding structure which fits with the holding structure in the surface of the milling body or said mating holding structure is present; D) attachment, spaced via the holding structure, of the prosthesis base preform to the mating holding structure, wherein an interspace is obtained; E) introduction or application of a fluid polymerizable plastic into the interspace; F) curing or partial curing of the plastic to yield a plastics material in the interspace which connects the prosthesis base preform to the milling body; and G) subtractive machining of the plastics material, the prosthesis base preform and the milling body by a CAM method in accordance with a model of the dental prosthesis.

The invention also relates to a dental prosthesis produced with such a method and a device for implementing such a method.

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.
