  • Patent number: 11337503
    Abstract: Disclosed is a foundation container having a discharge pump therein, in which a contents container of stretchable material for storing cosmetic contents is coupled inside a container main body, and is fixed by a middle cap, and the contents container is provided with a rounded curved portion (42) at a lower edge thereof, an annular bent portion (43) at a lower center portion thereof, and spaced protrusions (44) protruding radially on an upper bottom surface, such that the contents container is evenly pressed from the rounded curved portion during the pumping operation of the pump, and even when the contents container is compressed, the gap is secured to discharge minimal contents, whereby the contents are smoothly discharged, and by the branch structure of the distribution plate and the discharge plate, it is possible to minimize the residual contents and improve use efficiency while discharging the cosmetic contents evenly.

  • Patent number: 11318000
    Abstract: The present invention provides a digital dental prosthesis manufacturing method including a first step in which a three-dimensional work image is acquired, the three-dimensional work image including surface information on an inner side of an oral cavity and a target dental arch in which fixtures are placed and occlusion information between the target dental arch and an opposing dental arch; a second step in which a temporary digital dental prosthesis is designed and manufactured; a third step in which the manufactured temporary digital dental prosthesis is installed on the target dental arch; and a fourth step in which a virtual coupling groove, which corresponds to surface information on the corrected coupling region, is set in an inner surface profile, which is set according to surface information on the corrected temporary shape-matching surface that is included in the corrected scan image, and a final digital dental prosthesis is designed and manufactured.

  • Patent number: 11278387
    Abstract: An occlusion control system and a corresponding method for occlusion control, in which dimensional data of a digital upper and lower jaw model are stored on a data processing and control device, an upper jaw representative model and a lower jaw representative model are manually moved relative to one another in an adjustment plane, position changes of the upper jaw representative model and the lower jaw representative model are detected. An associated relative position between the upper and lower jaw models is calculated. If, in this relative position, there is a dental arch penetration and/or a dental arch decoupling from the upper and lower jaw model, a length of at least one of at least three spacer elements between the upper jaw representative model and the lower jaw representative model is adjusted, which brings about a haptically detectable change in the representative model.
