Patent number: 11426262Abstract: Taking an intraoral scan of a patient's mouth with existing implants, creating a digital model of the patient's mouth, digitally designing a denture bar based on the digital mouth model, fabricating a physical bar based on the digital bar model, delivering the physical bar into the patient's mouth, capturing records of the patient's mouth and installed physical bar, producing a physical denture and joining it to the physical bar, and delivering the physical denture and bar into the patient's mouth, all in no more than three dental office visits. The step of digitally designing a denture bar typically includes selecting a cement gap for the abutments based on errors in the digital mouth model resulting from the intraoral scan, as well as designing lateral cement ports into the digital bar model. And the step of fabricating a physical bar typically includes using additive manufacturing such as 3D printing.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2018Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: EVOLLUTION IP HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Boris A. Simmonds, John J. Bellanca

Patent number: 10912631Abstract: A temporary cylinder for snap-in retention with an elongate dental implant includes an elongate body extending from a first end to a second end, the elongate body being generally cylindrical and having an upper portion and a lower engagement portion and the temporary cylinder's lower engagement portion includes a male irregular hexagonal plug, and wherein the dental implant includes a female regular hexagonal socket, and wherein the male irregular hexagonal plug and the female regular hexagonal socket are configured for inter-engagement with each other, and the fitment of the irregular hexagonal plug and regular hexagonal socket together with one another results in a frictional fit when inter-engaged.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2018Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: EVOLLUTION IP HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Haibo Fan, Boris Simmonds, Fred J. Molz, IV

Publication number: 20190247149Abstract: A custom dental component and scan body for supporting the soft tissue surrounding an implant that is installed in at least a portion of a patient's jaw bone during the dental restoration process. The custom dental component includes a custom subgingival emergence profile so as to support and train the surrounding soft tissue. The custom dental component, while remaining connected with the implant, is scanned or an impression is obtained. A three-dimensional digital model of the patient's detention is produced from the scan or impression. A dental design software is used to view the three-dimensional digital model. A digitally-designed custom dental component is imported in the three-dimensional digital model and aligned with the custom dental component to obtain the implant's position.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2019Publication date: August 15, 2019Applicant: EVOLLUTION IP HOLDINGS, INC.Inventor: Boris A. SIMMONDS

Publication number: 20180263739Abstract: A dental model including an implant analog and surrounding modeled dentition is disclosed, and also systems and methods for application of such a dental model in implant dentistry. The implant analog models an actual dental implant in the mouth of a patient and the modeled surrounding dentition models actual dentition surrounding the actual dental implant in the mouth of the patient. In example forms, the implant analog and modeled dentition comprise an integrally formed monolithic body generated from a digital intra-oral scan of the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2018Publication date: September 20, 2018Applicant: EVOLLUTION IP HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Boris A. SIMMONDS, Fred J. MOLZ, IV
