  • Publication number: 20070184412
    Abstract: A method for producing a blank for a permanent dental crown starts with a blank that includes a tooth module and a support. A preparation is formed on the underside and serves for connection to an anchoring element such as a screw element or tooth stump. The tooth module and the support are produced from the same material in a first process that permits a high surface quality. In a second process, the tooth module and support are connected to one another and can then be further processed. This method leads to a high dimensional stability of the resulting crown and permits the use of inexpensive plastic material for a high-quality permanent dental prosthesis.

  • Publication number: 20060281051
    Abstract: A process for producing a dental prosthesis includes producing a wax prosthesis including artificial teeth and a receiving bed for articulating the artificial teeth by inserting the artificial teeth into the receiving bed at anatomically correct positions, producing a negative mold of the wax prosthesis using a duplicating medium, removing the receiving bed, introducing a fixing material into the negative mold, and allowing the fixing material to set, so that the undersides of the artificial teeth are permanently embedded in the fixing material. The artificial teeth have a holding groove running in a mesio-distal direction on its underside, so as to produce reliable positively locking joining of the artificial tooth to the receiving bed of the wax prosthesis.
