  • Process for generating a CAM dataset
    Patent number: 11992375
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for generating a CAM dataset, having the steps of providing (S201) a digital CAD dataset for a dental prosthesis having first reference data for a first spatial reference geometry; providing (S202) a digital CAM dataset having second reference data for a second spatial reference geometry; and integrating (S203) the CAD dataset in the CAM dataset by aligning the first spatial reference geometry of the CAD dataset with the second spatial reference geometry of the CAM dataset.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 26, 2021
    Date of Patent: May 28, 2024
    Assignee: Ivoclar Vivadent AG
    Inventors: Markus Geier, Martin Mitterhofer
  • Partial dental arch and method for manufacturing a partial arch
    Patent number: 11617635
    Abstract: A partial dental arch is provided with dentin material and with cutting material and a boundary area therebetween. It includes a primary-position tooth region and additional tooth regions which are arranged more distally. A wavy structure of the boundary area is provided whose amplitude—when viewed in the distal direction—decreases in at least one section of the mesial-distal and/or occlusal-gingival extension, in particular with regard to the occlusal-gingival direction.
