Abstract
Disclosed is a method for modeling and manufacturing a denture for a patient, where the denture comprises a gingival part and artificial teeth, wherein the method comprises: providing a 3D scan comprising at least part of the patient's oral cavity; virtually modeling at least part of the denture using the 3D scan; obtaining virtual teeth to represent the artificial teeth; virtually modeling at least one of the virtual teeth to obtain a set of modeled virtual teeth; manufacturing the modeled virtual teeth in a first material; manufacturing the gingival part in a second material; and manufacturing at least part of the denture by means of computer aided manufacturing (CAM).
Claims22
A method for modeling and manufacturing a denture for a patient, where the denture comprises a gingival part and artificial teeth, wherein the method comprises:
- virtually modeling at least part of the denture using a 3D scan comprising at least part of the patient's oral cavity;
- obtaining virtual teeth to represent the artificial teeth;
- virtually modeling at least one of the virtual teeth to obtain a set of modeled virtual teeth;
- overlaying and/or morphing a scan made of a try-in of the denture before testing in the patient's mouth with a scan made of the try-in after testing the try-in in the patient's mouth and adjusting the try-in based on the testing;
- automatically detecting chanties between the scan made before testing with the scan made after testing;
- modifying the denture based on the detected changes;
- manufacturing the modeled virtual teeth in a first material;
- manufacturing the gingival part in a second material;
- and
- manufacturing at least part of the denture by means of computer aided manufacturing (CAM).
A method for modeling a denture for a patient, where the denture comprises a gingival part and artificial teeth, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
- virtually modeling at least part of the denture using a 3D scan comprising at least part of the patient's oral cavity;
- obtaining virtual teeth to represent the artificial teeth;
- virtually modeling at least one of the virtual teeth to obtain a set of modeled virtual teeth;
- overlaying and/or morphing a scan made of a try-in of the denture before testing in the patient's mouth with a scan made of the try-in after testing the try-in in the patient's mouth and adjusting the try-in based on the testing;
- automatically detecting changes between the scan made before testing with the scan made after testing;
- and
- modifying the denture based on the detected changes.
