Abstract
Disclosed is a method of creating a digital abutment design of a customized dental abutment, the including comprising: obtaining a bone scan comprising a digital representation of at least a part of a patient's jaw including the surface of the jawbone; and designing the digital abutment design of the customized dental abutment; wherein the design of the digital abutment design is at least partly based on fulfilling a set of predefined design criteria including the relationship between the digital representation of the jawbone and the digital abutment design.
Claims15
A method of generating a digital abutment design of a customized dental abutment, wherein the method comprises:
- obtaining a bone scan comprising a digital representation of at least a part of a patient's jaw including the surface of the jawbone;
- and
- generating the digital abutment design of the customized dental abutment;
- where the digital abutment design is at least partly based on fulfilling a set of predefined design criteria comprising the relationship between the digital representation of the jawbone and the digital abutment design.
A method of selecting a dental abutment from a digital library of stock dental abutments, the method comprising:
- obtaining a bone scan comprising a digital representation of at least a part of a patient's jaw including the surface of the jawbone;
- choosing the digital stock abutment that best fulfils a set of predetermined design criteria based on a weighted algorithm of the design criteria.
