Abstract:
According to an embodiment, a method for generating a digital data set for fabricating a physical dental bleaching tray useable to deliver an bleaching agent is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a three-dimensional digital representation of a patient's dentition comprising teeth and gingiva; segmenting two or more teeth into individual tooth; identifying a facial surface of at least one of the segmented tooth; defining a facial surface portion comprising a surface area that is at least partly bound by a virtual boundary that is non- interfacing with the gingiva; generating a modified three-dimensional digital representation using the defined facial surface portion; and generating, based on the modified three-dimensional digital representation, the digital data set configured to be used in fabricating the physical dental bleaching tray.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a denture comprising a denture base and at least two artificial teeth arranged in the denture base, wherein the method comprises the steps of obtaining the denture base; manufacturing the at least two artificial teeth with a common placement support connected to the at least two artificial teeth for keeping the at least two artificial teeth in a desired relative arrangement, arranging the at least two artificial teeth on the denture base with the common placement support connected to the at least artificial teeth, attaching the at least two artificial teeth on the denture base, and removing the common placement support. This further ensures proper placement of the artificial teeth in the denture base of a denture.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for placing and using design guides in a virtual environment for use in dental treatment, wherein the method comprises steps of obtaining a 3D representation of a dental setup of a patient, obtaining a 2D image of at least a part of the face of the patient, aligning the 2D image and the 3D representation, generating at least one design guide based on facial features in the 2D image, and applying the at least one design guide to the 3D representation.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of virtually designing a customized healing abutment and a drill guide for a patient, where the method comprises: - obtaining a CT scan comprising at least part of the patient's jaw bone; - virtually placing at least one implant relative to the jaw bone of the CT scan, such that a planned implant placement is defined; - virtually designing: - a drill guide for guiding the surgical drilling of a bore for the implant into the patient's jaw bone at the planned implant placement; and - a customized healing abutment configured for shaping the soft tissue according to a target profile when arranged in the implant; where the design of the drill guide and of the customized healing abutment is at least partly based on the CT scan and on the planned implant placement.
Abstract:
A method and a 3D guiding system for providing a guided relative movement of a first object and a second object, and can e.g. be used to guide a tool in dental or surgical applications. The 3D guiding system is arranged in relation to the first object which may be a surgical tool, and the guiding system comprises a 3D scanner for performing a 3D scanning of the second object, which may be a patient. The method of using the guiding system comprises obtaining the second object and a 3D model of the second object, and deriving from the 3D model a first preferred relative arrangement between the first and second objects. Hereafter is performed a movement procedure comprising: -3D scanning a region of the second object using the scanner and determining a present relative arrangement of the first and second objects from a result of the scanning, -calculating information for guiding the relative movement of the first and second objects towards the first preferred relative arrangement from the present relative arrangement, and -providing a relative movement of the first and second objects towards the first preferred relative arrangement, where the calculated information is used for guiding the relative movement. An advantage of the invention is that the present relative arrangement is determined without an external localization device.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system and a method for proving a model of a superstructure (307) joining a denture (301) and a corresponding dental arch, the method comprising the steps of: - obtaining a first 3D representation of at least a part of a preliminary model of the denture (307), - obtaining a second 3D representation of at least a part of the dental arch comprising dental implants (308), and - generating a model of a superstructure based on the first 3D representation, the second representation, dental implant positions and dental implant orientations.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for scanning an edentulous patent who has a denture, where an impression material arranged at the gum-facing surfaces of the dentures is shaped by the patient's gums and both the teeth side and the gum-facing surface of the denture is scanned and the obtained digital 3D representations are used to determine the relative arrangement of the patient's edentulous jaws in a bite determined by the dentures.
