Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing a physical testing model for testing a fitting of a dental restoration to be hardened before the dental restoration being hardened. The dental restoration is required to fit onto a dental element after being hardened. The method comprises providing a 3D digital model of the dental element. Size of the 3D digital model of the dental element is scaled using a first scaling factor. The first scaling factor depends on an inverse of a second scaling factor quantifying a predicted scaling of the size of the dental restoration to be hardened due to the hardening. The scaling of the 3D digital model of the dental element results in a 3D digital testing model for the testing of the fitting of the dental restoration to be hardened. The 3D digital testing model is provided as a template for manufacturing the physical testing model.

Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for providing a set of layer-specific molding matrices for reconstructing layer-by-layer one or more teeth of a set of teeth in a patient's oral cavity. The set of layer-specific molding matrices comprises two or more layer-specific molding matrices. Each of the layer-specific molding matrices is configured for being arranged on the set of teeth and for casting a different layer of the one or more teeth to be reconstructed with a layer-specific reconstruction material inserted into the respective layer-specific molding matrix. The respective layer-specific molding matrix defines a 3D geometric form of the respective layer being casted.

Abstract: The invention relates to a computer system for providing a treatment proposal for a dentition of a patient. The computer system is configured to provide an current state model of the dentition and a target state model of the dentition; to provide a set of treatment options for treating the dentition, to check the provided treatment options, wherein the checking comprises determining whether the dentition of the patient is meeting the feasibility requirements assigned to the treatment option being checked; in case the dentition is determined to meet the feasibility requirements assigned to the treatment option being checked, to provide the treatment proposal identifying the respective treatment option and implementation parameters determined for the measures of the identified treatment option for modifying the current state model such that one or more discrepancies of the current state model relative to the target state model are compensated.

Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for providing a holding splint for holding one or more restoration forms. The holding splint is configured for being arranged in a patient's oral cavity on a set of teeth comprising one or more teeth to be restored. The holding splint comprises one or more holding sections configured to hold the one or more restoration forms in order to shape restoration material applied onto one or more surfaces of the one or more teeth to be restored into a predefined form using the one or more restoration forms.

Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly set for a removable partial denture comprising one or more replacement teeth as well as a framework with one or more retention sections. Each of the retention sections is configured to receive and retain one or more of the replacement teeth. Each of the replacement teeth comprises a bottom face with a surface structure configured to engage an assigned complementary retention structure provided by one of the retention sections of the framework configured to receive the respective replacement tooth. Each surface structure provides in combination with the assigned complementary retention structure a non-destructive detachable direct connection between the replacement tooth comprising the respective surface structure and the retention section comprising the respective assigned complementary retention structure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for configurating a split denture. A digital 3D model of the denture comprising a plurality of teeth is provided. The digital 3D model of the denture is split into a digital 3D model of a base part and a digital 3D model of a teeth part. The base part comprises a first artificial gingiva portion. Further, the base part is configured to support the teeth part. The teeth part comprises the plurality of teeth of the denture and a second gingiva portion. The teeth part is configured to be mounted on the base part. The digital 3D model of the split denture is provided for generating at least one of the base part and the teeth part.

Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for assessing a clearance between a tooth element to be provided with a dental restoration element and an antagonist of the tooth element. A 3D digital teeth model with 3D digital representations of the tooth element and of a surface area of the antagonist is received. The surface area is offset from the antagonist by adding an offset. The resulting offset surface area defines a limit for the tooth element. For the clearance it is checked, whether the tooth element violates one or more penetration criteria regarding the offset surface area. If the tooth element violates the one or more penetration criteria, the clearance is assessed to be insufficient for the tooth element to be provided with the dental restoration element. Else the clearance is assessed to be sufficient. The result of the assessment is output.

Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for providing a template for a casting matrix configured for casting one or more artificial gingiva parts of a removable denture. The casting matrix comprises one or more recesses. Each of the recesses has a 3D geometric form, which is a negative of a 3D geometric form of a section of the removable denture with one of the artificial gingiva parts to be casted.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for modelling a patient-individualised denture part (140). The method comprises providing a digital three-dimensional patient situation model (118), a digital three-dimensional denture part model (114), and one or more geometric adaptation criteria defined using patient-specific delimiting surfaces. A denture part geometry of the denture part model is adapted in a patient-individualised manner to a patient situation geometry of the patient situation model. The patient-individualised adaptation process also comprises repeatedly interactively making user-defined changes to the denture part model, wherein the denture part model dynamically passes through a sequence of intermediate states during the course of each of the user-defined changes until a change state resulting from each user-defined change is reached.
