  • Patent number: 7909607
    Abstract: A method for designing a digital abutment for a dental implant includes the steps of: a) implant planning where implant planning is initiated based on digital data obtained from the patient and loaded into a computer system to enable an implant fixture to be implanted at the implant site in the best position, b) establishment of digital reference abutment where a digital reference abutment is established at the implant site and positioned on the implant fixture, c) adjustment of the digital reference abutment where the digital reference abutment has a subgingival part and a supragingival part at the top side of the subgingival part, and the angle between the subgingival part and the supragingival part is adjusted based on the best prosthesis position, and d) finish of digital abutment where the digital reference abutment becomes a digital abutment for placement after the adjustment.

  • Patent number: 7854611
    Abstract: A method of generating a digital supplementary device for dental implantation by: preparing a mouth model based on the internal shape of the oral cavity of the patient; performing a 3D scan to obtain digital model of the mouth model, the digital model of the patient's oral cavity and the digital model of the tooth model; defining the digital models as the “positioning object,” “the reference object” and the “attached positioning object”; obtaining characteristic points after joining the positioning object and the attached positioning object and positioning the positioning object and the reference object based on the characteristic points; and then outputting the attached positioning object with the positioning data obtained after positioning of the attached positioning object. The output thus obtained is the desired digital supplementary device for dental implant planning.

  • Publication number: 20070154869
    Abstract: A method of making dental plate implant includes the steps of preparing an oral scanning image generated from a tomogram of a patient's mouth; producing and scanning a substantial model from a rollover of the patient's mouth to prepare an oral model; positioning the oral model to the oral scanning image by comparing a positioning object (defined by the oral model) and a referential object (defined by the oral scanning image) respectively; conducting a multi-stage amplification calculation of the oral model to further generate a digital processing model; and processing the digital processing model through a machine tool to produce a dental plate implant.
