DIGITAL DENTAL ARCH DATABASE

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing a denture, characterized by a) providing a predefined dental arch database, the dental arch database having data on maxilla and mandible arches in occlusion; b) generating the denture on the basis of the dental arch data on the maxilla and mandible arches in occlusion.

Claims

1. A method for producing a denture, comprising: a) providing a predefined digital dental arch database, wherein the dental arch database has data of maxilla and mandible dental arches in occlusion; and b) generating the denture on the basis of the data of maxilla and mandible dental arches in occlusion.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the data of maxilla and mandible dental arches in occlusion are positioned in a situation-related position.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the situation-related position is predefined.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the predefined situation-related position is provided by the predefined data of maxilla and mandible dental arches in occlusion.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein an adaptation of individual teeth from the dental arch database can take place individually.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein a digital design and a manufacture of a restoration by means of subtractive and/or additive production methods are carried out by the predefined situation-related position.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein one or more implant connecting elements are digitally positioned and designed in the maxilla and mandible on the basis of the predefined data of maxilla and mandible dental arches in occlusion.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the tooth shape and/or tooth size and/or tooth color and/or tooth arch width of the predefined digital data of maxilla and mandible dental arches in occlusion can be adapted to scanned data of a mouth situation of a patient.

9. A workpiece for producing a denture, characterized by data of maxilla and mandible dental arches in occlusion, which are provided digitally in a dental arch database.

10. A method, comprising the use of a digital dental arch database having data of maxilla and mandible dental arches in occlusion for producing a partial or total prosthesis.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the use comprises producing a denture according to the method of claim 1.

12. A method, comprising the use of a digital dental arch database having data of maxilla and mandible dental arches in occlusion for producing an occlusal registration tool.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the use comprises providing the predefined digital dental arch database, wherein the dental arch database has data of maxilla and mandible dental arches in occlusion; and generating the occlusal registration tool on the basis of the data of maxilla and mandible dental arches in occlusion.

Description

[0031] The advantageous embodiment of the present invention is described on the basis of the following drawing.

[0032] FIG. 1 shows an occlusal registration tool for the maxilla and mandible, the dental arch database, and a finished total prosthesis.

[0033] FIG. 1 shows data of dental arches 1, 2 positioned in occlusion in CAD software, which are provided in a dental arch database 10. The data of dental arches 1, 2 are predefined on the basis of a scanned data set of the mouth situation of the patient. The data of maxilla and mandible dental arches in occlusion are positioned in a predefined situation-related position. The mouth situation of the patient or the jaw relation of the patient is determined by means of the occlusal registration tool for the maxilla and mandible, wherein the occlusal registration tool has dental arches already positioned in occlusion. The occlusal registration tool of the maxilla can be fixedly connected via an encryption element to the occlusal registration tool of the mandible. The occlusal registration tool of the maxilla and mandible can also be inserted by means of a connecting element in the mouth of the patient. For example, a total prosthesis as shown in FIG. 1 is produced on the basis of the digitally predefined data of dental arches of the maxilla and mandible, which are already positioned in occlusion. It can be seen clearly in FIG. 1 that the artificial teeth of the prosthesis of the maxilla and mandible are in an exact relation to one another, so that the prosthesis no longer has to be finished or the positioning of the occlusion by means of an aid, for example an articulator, is no longer necessary. This saves work effort on the part of the dental technician and the dentist and possibly saves further sessions for the patient.

[0034] It has proven to be advantageous if the digital data of dental arches positioned in occlusion correspond due to the method for occlusal registration and the use of an occlusal registration tool, as described in German patent application DE 10 2014 117 252, the content of the disclosure of which is incorporated in its entirety in the present content of the disclosure. This is also the case when the workpiece for producing a denture by data of maxilla and mandible dental arches in occlusion at least partially corresponds to the tooth shapes of a milling block also arrayed in the occlusion position, preferably a dental milling block, as described in German patent application DE 10 2011 118 320, the content of the disclosure of which, preferably with regard to the milling block, the milling block system, and corresponding production method, is incorporated in its entirety in the present content of the disclosure.
