Abstract: A plate denture manufacturing method includes preparing three-dimensional data for an artificial tooth impression and a plate denture, preparing a denture mold including a bottom wall, a side wall, a forming space which is surrounded by the bottom wall and the side wall and into which a denture base material is to be poured, a cutting target region to be cut by a cutting apparatus, and vent holes passing through the bottom wall, cutting a groove in the cutting target region using the cutting apparatus, placing the denture mold on a holder, placing an artificial tooth in the groove, pouring the denture base material into the forming space and curing the denture base material so as to fabricate a one-piece product including the denture mold, the artificial tooth, and a cured product of the denture base material that are integral with each other, and machining the cured product.

Abstract: A crown prosthesis preparing system includes a data generator and a cutting device including a retainer, a cutting mechanism, and a controller. The cutting mechanism includes a first processing tool that cuts a workpiece to form a processed workpiece, a second processing tool that polishes the processed workpiece, a driver detachably holding at least one of the first processing tool and the second processing tool and controlling its position. The controller includes a first control section causing the first processing tool to cut the workpiece retained by the retainer based on three-dimensional data, to form the processed workpiece, and a second control section causing the second processing tool to polish a surface of the processed workpiece retained by the retainer based on the three-dimensional data.

Abstract: A processing target mold is usable to form, by molding, a processing target to be shaved by a shaving device. The processing target includes a hold portion held by the shaving device, a target portion to be formed into a post-shaving item, and a coupling portion coupling the hold portion with the target portion. A main body of the processing target mold includes a bottom member, an outer frame member extending upward from the bottom member, and a protruding member extending upward from a portion of the bottom member that is enclosed by the outer frame member as seen in a plan view. The main body includes an injection space enclosed by the bottom member and the outer frame member. A material is injected into the injection space. The injection space includes a hold space, a target space and a coupling space in which the hold portion, the target portion and the coupling portion are respectively formed by molding.
