Patent number: 11865653Abstract: A dental overlay for preparing a tooth is prepared. Movements a cutting tool follows in preparing the tooth are simulated based on data acquired from a dentition and define tooth structure to be removed by the tool from the tooth. The overlay is produced with an inner surface corresponding to and configured for contacting a contact region on and extending between respective top and bottom portions of and partially around the tooth or a neighboring tooth of the tooth. The respective bottom portion or portions are configured to be adjacent to a gingiva. The inner surface thereby remains releasably fixed to the contact region and in a same position relative to the tooth upon pressure to the overlay by the tool during the defined tooth structure removal. A groove of the overlay is configured for contacting the tool to limit its movements to predetermined movements corresponding to the simulated movements.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Viax Dental Technologies LLCInventor: Evelyne Jacquemyns

Publication number: 20230263591Abstract: A dental overlay device includes a base, connecting strut, and veneer holder. The base has a curvature in the form of an arch of a patient and defines a curved axis. The connecting strut has a first end attached to the base and a second end and extends in a generally orthogonal direction to the curved axis. The veneer holder has first and second ends and extends in a transverse direction to the direction the connecting strut extends. The second end of the connecting strut is attached to the veneer holder. A dental overlay device and veneer combination includes a first veneer and a second veneer prepared for mounting onto the plurality of teeth. Floss is configured for passing between the first veneer and the second veneer when the dental overlay device is mounted onto the plurality of teeth.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2021Publication date: August 24, 2023Applicant: Viax Dental Technologies LLCInventors: Mohamed Fares, Jesse Madsen

Publication number: 20220071736Abstract: A tooth preparation system (100) includes a dental tool (150) and guide device (110) for contacting the dental tool to limit its movement in removing predetermined tooth structure from a working tooth. The guide device includes a body (120) having an inner surface (146A), a channel (122A, 122B), an aperture (124, 126, 136), and an opening (127A, 127B). The inner surface is configured for attachment to a tooth to releasably fix the guide device. The channel extends partially through the body, defines a longitudinal axis, is configured for contacting a flange (152A, 152B, 154A, 154B) extending from a shaft of the dental tool to limit a movement of the tool, and defines a channel diameter perpendicular to a direction the longitudinal axis extends.

A dental overlay configured for placement onto one or both of the tooth to be prepared and a neighboring tooth is produced. The overlay includes an occlusal portion and buccal and lingual sides extending from the occlusal portion. The overlay has a first guiding groove configured for contact with the cutting tool so as to limit movements to be followed by the cutting tool to predetermined movements for removing a portion of the defined tooth structure to be removed. A first portion of the first guiding groove extends through the buccal or lingual side of the overlay.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2018Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Viax Dental Technologies LLCInventor: Evelyne Jacquemyns

Publication number: 20220015864Abstract: Dental instrumentation for use in guiding a cutting tool to remove tooth structure from a working tooth is prepared. A digital model of cutting guide shell structure for placement around a portion of the tooth to be treated is combined with preset tool movements to be made by the cutting tool by one or more processors to define final cutting guide data corresponding to final cutting guide structure for guiding the cutting tool. A digital model of a fixation instrument configuration for fixing the dental instrumentation to an adjacent tooth to the working tooth is combined with the final cutting guide data by one or more processors to define final instrument configuration data corresponding to a final instrument configuration for releasably fixing the dental instrumentation to the adjacent tooth and for guiding the cutting tool in the removal of the tooth structure from the tooth to be treated.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2021Publication date: January 20, 2022Applicant: Viax Dental Technologies LLCInventors: Mohamed Fares, Cyrus Tahmasebi

Patent number: 10144100Abstract: A method for producing a dentist tool includes simulation of predetermined horizontal, vertical, and tilt movements to be followed by a cutting tool to remove a predetermined part of tooth structure for further treatment of a tooth. An overlay is determined to fit the tooth by determining a first guiding edge within the overlay corresponding to the predetermined movements and determining a second guiding edge within the overlay spaced apart from the first guiding edge and corresponding to the predetermined movements. The first and second guiding edges are provided to contact the cutting tool so as to guide horizontal, vertical, and tilt movements of the cutting tool such that the cutting tool follows the predetermined horizontal, vertical, and tilt movements for removal of the predetermined part of tooth structure. The determined overlay is produced with the first and second guiding edges and such that it fits the tooth.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2014Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: Viax Dental Technologies, LLCInventor: Evelyne Jacquemyns
