  • Patent number: 11918435
    Abstract: A method for producing an adaptive element for dental implantation includes: creating a 3D virtual model including a crown part and a root part; obtaining a boundary curve between the crown part and the root part; defining a boundary plane on the root part perpendicular to a vertical axis of the 3D virtual model and spaced apart from the boundary curve; projecting the boundary curve on the boundary plane in a direction parallel to the vertical axis; generating a tubular model having a predetermined thickness based on the boundary curve, a virtual surface connected from the boundary curve to the cutting plane, and the cutting plane; and producing the adaptive element according to the tubular model.

  • Patent number: 11547537
    Abstract: A method for producing a dental adaptive element for alleviating recession of gingiva around an alveolar socket of a patient includes: obtaining images of a tooth; creating a 3D model having a crown part and a root part based on the images; obtaining a boundary curve on the 3D model between the crown part and the root part; on the root part of the 3D virtual model, obtaining an imaginary surface that protrudes in a direction from the crown part toward the root part; extracting a sub-model from the 3D model by removing a portion of the root part that extends between the imaginary surface and an end of the root part; and producing a dental adaptive element according to the sub-model.

  • Publication number: 20200405459
    Abstract: A method for producing an adaptive element for dental implantation includes: obtaining images of a tooth and creating a 3D model based thereon; obtaining a boundary curve on the 3D model between crown and root parts thereof; defining a cutting line on the root part perpendicular to an axis of the 3D model and spaced apart from the boundary curve; extracting a sub-model from the 3D model with reference to the boundary curve and the cutting line; forming a tubular model from the sub-model by removing all that corresponds to the crown part and hollowing out the sub-model such that the tubular model has a predetermined thickness in radial directions transverse to the axis; and producing the adaptive element according to the tubular model.
