  • Patent number: 11273019
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a dental prosthesis from a prosthesis base and a plurality of prosthesis teeth, characterized by the following chronological steps: providing the prosthesis teeth and the prosthesis base, wherein the prosthesis base comprises a plurality of tooth sockets for locating the basal surfaces of the prosthesis teeth; applying a plastically deformable connecting means onto the tooth sockets and/or basally onto the prosthesis teeth; locating the prosthesis teeth into the tooth sockets of the prosthesis base and in this situation connecting with the aid of connecting means to the prosthesis base in such a way that the prosthesis teeth, after locating in the tooth sockets, are movable in relation to the prosthesis base, wherein the position and the alignment of the prosthesis teeth to the prosthesis base remain retained if no external force effect is exerted onto the prosthesis teeth; changing the position and/or the alignment of at least one prosthesis tooth in the pro

  • Patent number: 10945822
    Abstract: Method for producing a three-dimensional model of at least a partial jaw comprising: fully-automatic shaping of at least one recess for accommodating a laboratory analogue into the alveolar ridge of the model using three-dimensional scanning data and shaping the depth, position, and orientation of the at least one recess such that the crestal end of the laboratory analogue inserted into said recess coincides with the crestal end of the dental implant in the jaw; or fully-automatic shaping of at least one vestibular, lingual or palatinal feed-through through the model into the at least one recess using three-dimensional scanning data and arranging the feed-through such that the crestal end of a laboratory analogue coincides with the crestal end of the dental implant in the jaw when the laboratory analogue is fixed in place with a pin inserted through the feed-through in the model into an opening in the laboratory analogue.

  • Patent number: 9918810
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a dental prosthesis, wherein the dental prosthesis comprises a prosthesis base and a plurality of prosthesis teeth, wherein the method is carried out making use of a virtual three-dimensional dental prosthesis model of the physical dental prosthesis which is to be produced, and wherein the virtual three-dimensional dental prosthesis model comprises virtual prosthesis teeth and a virtual prosthesis base, with the steps: from the external form of the vestibular surfaces and/or occlusal surfaces of the virtual prosthesis teeth, and from the external form of the vestibular surface of the virtual prosthesis base of the virtual three-dimensional dental prosthesis model, a virtual model of a template is calculated, such that a region of the virtual surface of the virtual template is formed by a negative of the vestibular surfaces and/or occlusal surfaces of the virtual prosthesis teeth and of the virtual prosthesis base, wherein the location and the orientation of t

  • Publication number: 20130330689
    Abstract: A method for producing a three-dimensional model of a region of a jaw for producing a dental restoration includes fully-automatic shaping of a recess for accommodating a laboratory analogue into the alveolar ridge of the model. Three-dimensional scanning data is used in the shaping and the depth, position, and orientation of the recess are shaped such that the crestal end of the laboratory analogue inserted into the recess coincides with the crestal end of the dental implant in the jaw of a patient. The method may also include fully-automatic shaping of a vestibular, lingual or palatinal feed-through through the model into the recess, wherein the three-dimensional scanning data are used in the shaping and the feed-through is arranged such that the crestal end of a laboratory analogue coincides with the crestal end of the dental implant in the jaw of the patient, when the laboratory analogue is fixed in place.
