Abstract
A processing device (100) for processing a dental indication (103), including an electronic status detection device (105) for detecting status data of the processing device (100) and/or the dental indication (103); and an electronic generation device (107) for generating a code (109) comprising the status data.
Claims11
A processing device (100) for processing a dental indication (103), comprising:
- an electronic status detection device (105) configured for detecting status data of the processing device (100) comprising at least one of a milling device, a 3D printer, a firing furnace, a press furnace, a sintering furnace, and a post-exposure device and for detecting status of the dental indication (103) comprising a crown, a bridge, a full or partial denture, an implant, an abutment, or a telescopic prosthesis;
- and
- an electronic generating device (107) configured for generating a code (109) comprising the status data;
- wherein the status data of the dental indication comprises patient data related to the dental indication;
- wherein the status data of the processing device comprises an identification number of the processing device, a number of operating hours, a calibration status, error messages and warnings, a process parameter, and an installed software version to provide documentation of relevant status data of the dental indication and the processing device;
- wherein the processing device (100) comprises a display device (111) for displaying the code (109) of the processing device and the dental indication;
- wherein the display device (111) is configured to display the code (109) of the processing device and the dental indication in an optically detectable or scannable manner;
- and
- wherein the status data in the code (109) is summarized in a documentation tool.
