  • Method and apparatus for generating dental data suitable for manufacturing a dental aligner
    Patent number: 11547531
    Abstract: The method for generating dental data suitable for manufacturing of a dental aligner, includes storing 3D scan data of a dental arch, determining (140) a curve in an occlusal plane, determining a positioning of the nodes of the teeth of the dental arch on the curve, determining an elevation of the nodes of the teeth of the dental arch, and determining an orientation of the teeth of the dental arch; said manufacturing data are calculated at least on the basis of the 3D scan data as well as the determined positioning, the determined elevation, and the determined orientation.

  • Coating for thermoelasticity
    Patent number: 5918283
    Abstract: A first aspect of the invention relates to an epoxy resin coating used in reflection photoelasticity, which is "black" in the infra-red part of the spectrum; another aspect to the use of an epoxy resin as a coating on at least one surface of a body to be subjected to cyclic loading and examined by thermoelasticity, and another aspect to a method of making thermoelastic measurements of a body when subjected to cyclic loading and hence measurements of stresses or strains, comprising, as an initial step, coating the surface(s) of the body to be measured with an epoxy resin whereby the surface(s) so coated represents a black body.
