Abstract
The invention relates to a bonding auxiliary device (100) for arranging, aligning and fixing a plurality of artificial teeth (210) to be bonded into an artificial gingiva (220) of a dental prosthesis (200), the bonding auxiliary device (100) comprising: an occlusion device (110) for arranging and aligning the teeth (210) relative to one another, a support device (120) for supporting a prosthetic body (221) of the first dental prosthesis (200) comprising the gingiva (220), and a clamping element (140) for fixing the teeth (210), which are arranged and aligned by means of the occlusion device (110), in the gingiva (220) supported by the support device (120).
Claims32
A bonding auxiliary device for arranging, aligning and fixing a plurality of first artificial teeth to be bonded into a first artificial gingiva of a first dental prosthesis,
- the bonding auxiliary device comprising:
- an occlusion device for arranging and aligning the first teeth relative to one another according to a predefined occlusion;
- a first support device for supporting a first prosthetic body of the first dental prosthesis comprising the first gingiva, comprising one or more first support elements, which are arranged on a first side of the first support device;
- and
- a clamping element for fixing the first teeth, which are arranged and aligned by means of the occlusion device, in the first gingiva,
- on a first side, the occlusion device comprising first impressions of dental crown upper sides of the first teeth according to the predefined occlusion, in which the dental crowns of the first teeth can be positioned for arrangement and alignment,
- the clamping element being configured to apply pressure onto a second side of the occlusion device facing away from the first side, and onto a second side of the first support device facing away from the first side, for fixing the first teeth, which are arranged and aligned by means of the occlusion device, in the first gingiva of the first prosthetic body that is supported by means of the first support device.

A method for producing an occlusion device for a bonding auxiliary device, using a computer system, the method comprising:
- providing a three-dimensional computer model of a first dental prosthesis to be produced, wherein the first dental prosthesis comprises a plurality of first artificial teeth having a predefined occlusion, which are arranged in a first artificial gingiva of a first prosthetic body;
- providing a generic three-dimensional computer model of an occlusion device;
- generating first impressions of dental crown upper sides of the first teeth in a first side of the three-dimensional computer model of the occlusion device in which the dental crowns of the first teeth can be positioned for arrangement and alignment;
- and
- producing the occlusion device, using the three-dimensional computer model of the occlusion device including the first impressions of the dental crown upper sides of the first teeth.
A method for using a bonding auxiliary device for bonding a plurality of first teeth into a first artificial gingiva, the bonding auxiliary device comprising:
- an occlusion device for arranging and aligning the first teeth relative to one another according to a predefined occlusion;
- a first support device for supporting a first prosthetic body of the first dental prosthesis comprising the first gingiva, comprising one or more first support elements, which are arranged on a first side of the first support device;
- and
- a clamping element for fixing the first teeth, which are arranged and aligned by means of the occlusion device, in the first gingiva,
- on a first side, the occlusion device comprising first impressions of dental crown upper sides of the first teeth according to the predefined occlusion, in which the dental crowns of the first teeth can be positioned for arrangement and alignment,
- the clamping element being configured to apply pressure onto a second side of the occlusion device facing away from the first side, and onto a second side of the first support device facing away from the first side, for fixing the first teeth, which are arranged and aligned by means of the occlusion device, in the first gingiva of the first prosthetic body that is supported by means of the first support device,
- the method comprising:
