Abstract: The invention is related to a casting form (1) for the generation of an ear piece (100or a part of an ear piece (100), wherein the ear piece (100) comprises a contact section (120) and a non-contact section (110). The casting form (1) comprises an inner surface (10) delimiting an inner volume (12) for receiving a casting material, wherein the inner volume (12) is at least a part of the contact section (120). The inner surface (10) comprises at least one profiled section (20) comprising at least one texturing element (30). The invention is further related to a method for generating a casting form (1). The invention further comprises an ear piece (100).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for partial curing of an initial photoreactive material for 3D printing, comprising the steps of: a) providing an item (1) comprising the initial photoreactive material for 3D printing, b) a partial irradiation step comprising irradiating at least one curing section (20) of the initial photoreactive material for 3D printing of the item with a curing irradiation, yielding at least one cured section (120) of a partially-cured item (10), and at least one semi-curing section (40) of the initial photoreactive material of the item is irradiated with a semi-curing irradiation, yielding at least one semi-cured section (140) of the partially-cured item.

Abstract: The invention relates to an adaptation system (500), comprising a mouthpiece (10), configured to be positioned in a mouth of a person, and an external sensoring device (20). The external sensoring device (20) is configured to be positioned at the person, wherein the external sensoring device (20) comprises at least one sensor (22) configured to sense at least one measurable quantity when the mouthpiece (10) is positioned in the person's mouth and the external sensoring device (20) is positioned at the person. Further, the adaptation system (500) comprises an analysis device (30) configured to determine a compliance of the adaptation system and/or to determine an orientation of an upper jaw (100) and a lower jaw (200) to each other derived from the at least one sensed measurable quantity.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a milling blank for the production of medical-technical molded parts, in particular dental splints or ear molds, as well as a method for the production of such a blank.

Abstract: A milling blank for producing medical-technical molded parts made from a material produced from at least two components, wherein a first component A comprises a poly(alkyl methacrylate) polymer, and wherein a second component B comprises at least one alkyl acrylate monomere and/or one alkyl methacrylate monomer, in which the poly(alkyl methacrylate) polymer of component A is at least partially soluble, wherein the material comprises a flexibilizer as a further component, wherein the flexibilizer is selected from the group of citric-acid-based, adipic-acid-based, phthalic-acid-based or aliphatic esters.
