  • Patent number: 10631952
    Abstract: A physical model of a set of teeth, wherein the physical model includes a gingival part in which a cavity comprising a cavity wall is formed; and a removable component having a part shaped as a tooth, where the removable component is configured for fitting into the cavity with a gap at an interface between the removable component and the cavity wall. The removable component or the cavity wall includes one or more supporting elements extending across the gap to establish contact between the removable component and the cavity wall to support and position the removable component in the cavity, and where contact between the removable component and the cavity wall at the interface only is provided by the supporting elements.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9492250
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of generating a virtual model of a set of teeth for manufacturing a physical model of the set of teeth includes providing a virtual model of the set of teeth generating a cavity in said gingival part, into which cavity a removable component fits, where the removable component and the cavity are configured to provide a gap at an interface; and providing for supporting and positioning the removable component in the cavity, wherein the area of contact between the removable component and the cavity wall at the interface is controlled by the shape of the adjoining surfaces of the supporting and positioning and the other of the removable component and the cavity wall.

  • Publication number: 20150073577
    Abstract: A method of obtaining orientation and localization of at least one dental implant includes the following steps: (a) obtaining an impression comprising at least one fixated impression abutment corresponding to the at least one dental implant(s) and/or obtaining an impression comprising at least one fixated impression abutment corresponding to the at least one dental implant(s) on which is mounted a scan implant/analog (b) obtaining pre-determined information of the shape of the impression abutment and/or scan implant/analog, (c) scanning at least a part of the impression, wherein the part includes the at least one impression abutment and/or scan implant/analog thereby obtaining scan data, (d) determining the orientation and localization of the dental implant based on the pre-determined information and the scan data.

  • Patent number: 8932058
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for obtaining an accurate three-dimensional model of a dental impression, said method comprising the steps of, scanning at least a part of an upper jaw impression and/or a lower jaw impression, obtaining an impression scan, evaluating the quality of the impression scan, and use the impression scan to obtain a three-dimensional model, thereby obtaining an accurate three-dimensional model of the dental impression.
