Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a plastics body with patterned layers for producing dental prostheses having the steps: method for production, wherein the method is characterized by the following steps: A) providing a first and a second PMMA-based compound which are uncured and have different colorations; B) heating of a first patterned pressing surface to between 90° C. and 150° C.; C) pressing of the first PMMA-based compound with the heated first pressing surface, such that a patterned surface of the first PMMA-based compound is obtained; D) detachment of the first pressing surface; E) heating of the first or of a second patterned pressing surface to between 90° C. and 150° C.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for packaging dental components, comprising the method steps: producing or providing a dental component; arranging the dental component with a support side on a support surface of a three-dimensional carrier element, the dental component projecting beyond the edge of the support surface on at least one side, forming a peripheral area; providing a sheet-like semi-finished plastic product comprising a thermoplastic resin; forming the sheet-like plastic semi-finished product in a thermoforming process for form closure of the dental component in a plastic structure, such that the dental component is positively surrounded by the plastic structure in the peripheral area on the support side of the dental component; and separating the dental component partially surrounded by the plastic structure from the carrier element to obtain a packaging system comprising the dental component packaged in the plastic structure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dental prosthesis, in particular prefabricated tooth replacements, whereby a layer of a film is integrated into the dental prosthesis. Preferably, the dental prosthesis is built up layer-wise, whereby the prosthesis comprises an inner tooth portion, a film on the inner tooth portion, and a further tooth portion outside on the film, such as a veneer and/or incisor shell. The method for producing said dental prostheses is also a subject matter of the invention.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for positioning and machining prosthetic teeth, comprising the following method steps: (a) at least two clamping jaws with peripheral recesses are placed with the peripheral recesses against a prefabricated prosthetic tooth or against prefabricated prosthetic teeth, such that, at least in certain regions, the placed clamping jaws enclose the prosthetic tooth or the prosthetic teeth respectively around a middle circumference, wherein, at least in certain regions, the inner surfaces of the recesses positive fit regions of the outer surfaces of the prosthetic tooth or the prosthetic teeth, wherein the clamping jaws are placed against the prosthetic tooth or the prosthetic teeth in such a manner that the coronal end and the basal end of the prosthetic tooth or the coronal ends and the basal ends of the prosthetic teeth project on both sides of the placed-together clamping jaws; and (b) fastening the clamping jaws to one another.

Abstract: Described is a method for producing a denture, wherein the method includes the following steps: A Producing a model from a material which does not bond with the denture material, B Fixing the teeth, C Filling the interspace between the artificial tooth/teeth and the model, wherein in step C melted thermoplastic material is applied in layers and after each layer is hardened by cooling.

Abstract: Dental materials with high abrasion resistance and their use for producing artificial teeth and/or their enamel or cutting areas are described. The materials primarily contain: (a) Monofunctional meth-/acrylates ?20-50% (b) Crosslinking meth-/acrylate ??1-20% (c) Splitter polymer from components (2) and (5) ??2-30% (d) PMMA-pearl polymers, partly crosslinked ??2-50% (e) Pyrogenic silicic acid, silanated ??0-20% (f) Inorganically fortified pearl polymer ??5-50% (g) Initiator components 0.1-1% (h) Coloring pigments 0.1-3%.

Abstract: A dental molding, in particular an artificial tooth, having an outer incisal layer and a dentin layer beneath that, characterized in that a layer of fluorescent material is provided between the dentin layer and the incisal layer. A method of producing the dental molding, and a method of using the dental molding to provide a patient with a more aesthetic appearance are also disclosed.
