Patent number: 9931188Abstract: A dental color key having at least two different color patterns or samples with different tooth colors. The entire surface area of the color key (10) may be smaller than the buccal and/or labial surface area, that is to say the vestibular surface area of two teeth, and the color patterns or samples (12) are attached adjacent to one another and particularly mounted to one single tooth.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2014Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: Ivoclar Vivadent AGInventors: Gottfried Rohner, Diethard Bertsch, Michael Brotzge

Patent number: 9008417Abstract: The invention relates to a dental color analyzing device comprising a housing, a computer device having a storage unit, and a display on which a reference object together with at least one tooth and/or a gingival area is represented, wherein at least one first image section that shows the reference object as well as at least one second image section that displays the tooth, a tooth region or a gingival area, may be detected with the aid of the computer device, characterized in that the reference object is mounted on a tooth and in particular is attached thereto and comprises a smaller size than the represented tooth, wherein the reference object is a dental color key comprising color samples that are arranged next to one another and that each represent a dental color, and in that the color of the second, in particular selectable image section, is comparable to the represented color samples with the aid of the computer device such that the color sample that matches the color of the second image section best, mType: GrantFiled: June 1, 2010Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Ivoclar Vivadent AGInventors: Gottfried Rohner, Diethard Bertsch, Michael Brotzge

Patent number: 8624167Abstract: A device for making a muffle, with which dental restoration parts can be produced with the aid of an embedding compound, at least one press blank and a pressing device, the device having a muffle base, a tubular sleeve surrounding the muffle base and at least one muffle insert which is arranged on the muffle base and can be separated from it. At least two cylindrical press-channel forming elements (16, 18, 20) extend parallel to one another and spaced apart from one another from a flat-formed portion of the muffle insert (12), which can be burned out at least with respect to the forming elements, which elements are formed in a closed manner, and in particular with thin walls, at least on one free end face opposite from the flat-formed portion (14).Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2009Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: Ivoclar Vivadent AGInventor: Diethard Bertsch

Patent number: 6968247Abstract: A stock removal workshop for the production of a dental restoration product includes a stock removal machine operable to remove stock material from a blank such that there remains a dental product having the desired geometry requisitioned by a dental practice or a dental laboratory. A stock removal plotter controls the stock removal machine operation and converts requisition data received from the dental practice or the dental laboratory which characterizes a virtual model of the requisitioned dental product into control data for controlling the stock removal machine operation. A geometry following assembly characterizes the geometry of the produced dental product via a geometry following operation and a comparison device compares the geometry characterizing data relating to the produced dental product with the requisition data to determine deviations therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2003Date of Patent: November 22, 2005Assignee: Ivoclar Vivadent AGInventors: Andreas Rathke, Andreas Reindl, Frank M. Kretschmar, Diethard Bertsch
