  • Method and system for processing dental prostheses
    Patent number: 10548694
    Abstract: A system and method for optimising the preparation of dental restorations is provided. The system comprises a dental restoration surface processing unit, a dental restoration assessment unit, a database comprising a treatment parameters database and a processing protocols database, a processor operationally coupled to said dental restoration surface processing unit and a protocol selector. The method treats a dental restoration surface using the system and according to one or more selected processing protocol.

  • MEDICAL DEVICE USER INTERFACE WITH STERILE AND NON-STERILE OPERATION
    Publication number: 20180042685
    Abstract: A touch screen interface of a medical or dental device coupled with a touchless interface to allow for sterile zone operator input, while still allowing for touch screen interaction for non-sterile zone operator input. In some embodiments, the touch screen interface usage is suspended while in a sterile zone mode, and resumed when the mode is switched to a non-sterile zone mode. In some embodiments, use of the touch screen interface while in a sterile zone mode of operation causes an alert message.

  • Dental articulator reference object
    Patent number: 8342843
    Abstract: A dental model articulator of the type that has separable complementary articulation members is connected to a registration object having compatible complementary articulation members. The dental arches of each dental model articulator half is scanned with the reference object to give the axis of the articulator model. This facilitates generating a virtual dental model.

  • Method and apparatus for designing a three dimensional model of a dental prosthesis
    Publication number: 20070141536
    Abstract: A method and system is provided for designing a three dimensional model of a dental prosthesis. Separate components having distinct functions are identified in the prosthesis and designed separately. The components are then juxtaposed spatially to form the dental prosthesis model. Different designing tools are used to design each component separately such that each shape is matched with an editing and designing tool that best suits its particularities.
