  • Patent number: 11684462
    Abstract: A dental prosthesis is provided, manufactured from a one-piece or multi-piece prosthesis blank which is composed of a gum-colored material (14) and a tooth-colored material (14), especially each one being based on plastic material. The tooth-colored material (14) of the blank (10) has a diameter or a width of more than 5 cm and especially a substantially flat cylindrical shape with a diameter/height ratio of more than 2:1, preferably more than 3:1. The gum-colored and tooth-colored materials (14, 12) are bonded together by bonding, polymerization and/or integral production. The boundary (16) between the materials, as viewed in the direction of the dental arch course, is wave-shaped with alternating grooves and ribs (22, 24), and in the region of the anterior arch in the vestibular direction—is of radiant shape.

  • Publication number: 20230118604
    Abstract: A dental prosthesis is provided, manufactured from a monobloc or multibloc prosthesis blank (10), which is composed of a gum-colored material (14) and a tooth-colored material (12), which materials (12, 14) are bonded to each other by bonding, polymerization and/or one-piece manufacture. The boundary surface (16) between the materials is wave-shaped comprising alternating grooves (22) and ribs (24) in the course of the dental arch, and radial in an oral-vestibular direction in the region of the anterior teeth (33) to be created. The boundary surface (16), at least in the region of the molars (26)—again as viewed in the oral vestibular direction—has parallel grooves (22) and ribs (24) forming troughs and crests of the waveform, or grooves (22) and ribs (24) such that they extend in deviation from parallel by at most 10 degrees, in particular at most 5 degrees, at least in the region of the molars (26).

  • Publication number: 20220061968
    Abstract: In the case of a dental prosthesis comprising a gum-coloured prosthesis base and a tooth coloured tooth arrangement which is partially embedded into the prosthesis base, the dental prosthesis is formed as a hybrid prosthesis, wherein the prosthesis base has a contact surface which has a surface normal pointing towards the gums. The tooth arrangement (14) surrounds an external telescope (secondary part) or an abutment on at least 2 sides (26, 28, 30), is formed as a one-piece tooth quadrant or as a segmented tooth quadrant (16) and consists of a harder material than the prosthesis base (12).

  • Patent number: 11090141
    Abstract: A method for producing a prosthesis or partial prosthesis based on digital data, using multiple teeth present in a dental arch (14) and a prosthesis base to be produced. The prosthesis base is rough-milled by a milling tool, i.e. is milled in a first step, and the prosthesis base present as a semi-finished product, in particular in regions of the prosthesis base on which the teeth and the prosthesis base abut against each another and/or are to be bonded to each other, is partially milled, i.e. is milled in a second step, by a different milling tool, thereby being brought to a target height which corresponds to the desired bonding gap between the prosthesis base and the tooth or dental arch (14).
