  • Patent number: 10206763
    Abstract: This invention is a method and product that can be restored with a porcelain facial veneer, ENDODONTIC VENEER EV™ made of hard porcelain material such as IPS EMAX™ or zirconia porcelain, as well as Ceram layering ceramic and other porcelain materials. The facial incisal and lingual surfaces of teeth are prepared minimally. A labial chamfer of 0.3-0.5 mm is prepared labially into enamel extending 1.5 mm to the incisal. A rhomboid access inlay preparation is made on the lingual surface with an extended post 3-5 mm below the height of the crest of bone, extending into a post space barrier cement 1.5 mm to form a secondary ferrule. The invention prevents bacterial microleakage to the apex and tooth fracture. It will also prevent root canal failures.

  • Patent number: 9707060
    Abstract: Endodontically treated teeth can be restored with porcelain facial veneer restorations-layering ceramic and porcelains. The method includes the steps of providing a cement material for preventing microleakage into gutta percha and for forming a post-barrier space. A rhomboid access inlay-shaped porcelain core is provided with an anatomical post extension extending below a level of an existing crest of bone into a root canal space, the length of the post extension being less than one-half the length of a root canal. The modified post is seated into a post barrier cement to prevent the egress of moisture or bacterial microleakage to the apex of the root canal.

  • Publication number: 20120156651
    Abstract: Endodontically treated teeth can be restored with porcelain facial veneer restorations made of Zirconia, IPS emax Ceram layering ceramic and other porcelain materials. The facial and incisal surfaces of teeth are prepared minimally into enamel and the access opening for the root canal, closed with an inlay core preparation and modified post preparation made of the same materials. These give additional support to the clinical crown and prevent fracturing. The modified post is seated into a post barrier material of Super EBA, MTA, or any suitable cement that prevents the egress of moisture or microleakage to the apex of the root canal.

  • Patent number: 7624024
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for receiving inputs at a portable computer used by personal typically operating a delivery vehicle providing delivery services, where the inputs potentially impact completion of a pre-established dispatch plan according to certain delivery criteria. The inputs include modifications to the manifest, updates regarding weather or traffic conditions, or other factors impacting the remaining deliveries. The inputs are examined to determine if modification of the original dispatch plan are warranted, and if so, a signal is generated triggering the processing of the original dispatch plan to produce an updated dispatch plan meeting the certain delivery criteria. The certain delivery criteria may involve commitments for completing deliveries by certain time frames.
