Abstract
The invention relates to a method for configurating a split denture. A digital 3D model of the denture comprising a plurality of teeth is provided. The digital 3D model of the denture is split into a digital 3D model of a base part and a digital 3D model of a teeth part. The base part comprises a first artificial gingiva portion. Further, the base part is configured to support the teeth part. The teeth part comprises the plurality of teeth of the denture and a second gingiva portion. The teeth part is configured to be mounted on the base part. The digital 3D model of the split denture is provided for generating at least one of the base part and the teeth part.
Claims8
A split denture comprising a plurality of teeth, wherein the denture is a try-in denture, wherein the denture is split into a base part and a teeth part, the base part comprising a first artificial gingiva portion, the base part further being configured to support the teeth part, the teeth part comprising the plurality of teeth of the denture and a second gingiva portion, the teeth part further being configured to be mounted on the base part,
- wherein the base part is generated from a different first material or different first combination of materials with a different first degree of hardness compared to a second material or second combination of materials with a second degree of hardness, from which the teeth part is generated,
- wherein the first material or the first combination of materials is harder with the first degree of hardness being higher than the second degree of hardness of the second material or the second combination of materials, the lower second degree of hardness allowing for adjustments by a dentist.
