Abstract
Method and system for the construction of a total dental prosthesis, wherein the shapes of the upper and lower jaw bases taken in the plastic material are digitized and stored as a digital prosthesis model in a data-processing device, and the upper and lower jaw prosthesis bases are produced from dental materials according to the digital prosthesis model by ablative or constructive methods.
Claims13
A method for construction of a total dental prosthesis comprising
- selecting a standard front dental arch from a set of standard front dental arches,
- inserting the standard front dental arch into an impression tray,
- taking a manual impression of upper and/or lower jaw bases using the impression tray with the dental arch inserted into the impression tray to provide a manual impression of upper and/or lower jaw bases and reference point for a set-up for a digital prosthesis model,
- scanning and storing the manual impression of the upper and/or lower jaw bases and reference-point data into a database,
- selecting standard dental teeth shape data from the database,
- integrating the selected standard dental teeth shape data into the stored reference-point data to provide a digital prosthesis model.
