Abstract
A method of producing a dental restoration (100), including the steps of calculating (S101) a pressure distribution (101) on the oral mucosa (105) through the dental restoration (100) based on a three-dimensional data set (103-DS) of the dental restoration (100) and a three-dimensional data set (103-MS) of the oral mucosa (105); and determining (S102) a spatial region (107) for an elastic production material (109) within the dental restoration (100) based on the calculated pressure distribution (101).
Claims16
A method of producing a dental restoration, comprising the steps of:
- calculating a pressure distribution on an oral mucosa through the dental restoration based on a three-dimensional data set of the dental restoration and a three-dimensional data set of the oral mucosa;
- and
- determining a spatial region for an elastic production material within the dental restoration based on the calculated pressure distribution;
- wherein the dental restoration with the spatial region is manufactured such that pain or discomfort when wearing the dental restoration is reduced.
A production device for producing a dental restoration, comprising:
- a calculating processor for calculating a pressure distribution on an oral mucosa through the dental restoration based on a three-dimensional data set of the dental restoration and a three-dimensional data set of the oral mucosa;
- and
- a determining processor for determining a spatial region for an elastic production material within the dental restoration based on the determined pressure distribution;
- wherein the production device is configured to manufacture the dental restoration with the spatial region such that pain or discomfort when wearing the dental restoration is reduced.
