摘要:
An occlusal wear evaluation apparatus capable of evaluating quantitatively an occlusal wear of a used denture reads three dimensional data of a denture before use and three dimensional data of the denture after use, calculates a difference in a set value of an articulator allowing the maxillary dental arch and the mandibular dental arch of the denture to occlude between the denture before use and the denture after use, by way of stimulating movements of a jaw in the articulator with the three dimensional data of the denture before use and the three dimensional data of the denture after use, and indicates the calculated difference.

Support structure to make instruments for dental prosthesis, comprising a base element (10), and a plurality of upper elements (20, 30, 50) which can be coupled through guide means (11, 12) with said base element (10) and positioning means (21, 31, 51) placed on each of said upper elements (20, 30, 50), one or more handmade articles need to make a dental prosthesis being assembled upon the instruments (A, V, P) resulting from said coupling. Said guide means include at least two first rods (11), positioned in respective first seats (19a) made along a perimeter portion of said base element (10), and at least one third rod (12) positioned in at least a respective second seat (19b) which is located substantially adjacent or opposite to the minimum perimeter portion of said base element (10) included between said first seats (19a).

A device adapted for adjusting the inclination of an entire articulator in relation to a support plane includes a support element on the support plane, a fastening device attached to the articulator, and a mechanism configured to adjust the distance between the fastening device and the support element.
摘要:
A dental sensor holder including a strip of pliable, longitudinally elastic material having two ends. The holder is constructed by permanently bonding the two ends of the strip to form a somewhat elastic loop. In addition, the sensor holder includes an adjustable bond portion on the inside of the loop which may selectively be engaged to join adjacent portions of the strip into a functional bitewing.

Bei einem Übungsmodell (1) zur Erlernung von zahnmedizinischen Fertigkeiten, - mit einer an einem Phantomkopf oder Artikulator befestigbaren Schale (2), in die eine Vielzahl von Durchgangsöffnungen (3) eingearbeitet ist, - mit einem oder mehreren Lehrzähnen (4), der oder die einzeln in der Durchgangsöffnung (3) der Schale (2) angeordnet ist bzw; sind, und mit einer Trägerplatte (5), die an der Schale (2) arretierbar ist und durch die der jeweilige Lehrzahn (4) an der Schale (2) lösbar fixiert ist, soll jeder Lehrzahn (4) in dem Übungsmodell (1) zuverlässig und dauerhaft gehalten sein. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, dass an der Trägerplatte (5) mindestens ein Zapfen (11) angeformt ist, in den eine Aufnahmekammer (12) eingearbeitet ist, dass an jedem Lehrzahn (4) ein Halteglied (21) absteht, das die Durchgangsöffnung (3) der Schale (2) im montierten Zustand durchgreift, dass das einzelne Halteglied (21) zu einer der Aufnahmekammer (12) der Zapfen (11) fluchtend ausgerichtet und in dieser eingesteckt ist, und dass zwischen der Schale (2) und der Trägerplatte (5) eine Halteleiste (31) angeordnet ist.
摘要:
A medical simulation apparatus is provided, which is capable of performing a simulation by correlating a three-dimensional image with an entity model. Coordinates of measurement marks MP1, MP2, MP3 on a surface of a lower dental arch model 62 in a coordinate system defined by three reference marks MK1, MK2, MK3 are acquired before and after displacement of the lower dental arch model 62. The coordinates thus acquired are converted into coordinates in a coordinate system defined by reference marks PK1, PK2, PK3 on the basis of a relationship between the reference marks MK1, MK2, MK3 and the reference marks PK1, PK2, PK3. Then, changes in the coordinates after displacement of the lower dental arch model 62 are determined, and a region preliminarily specified in a three-dimensional image displayed on a display 5 is displaced on the basis of the coordinate changes thus determined.
摘要:
A dental model tray (12) for use in forming a dental model has a rigid bottom wall (16) and a relatively thin side wall (17) extending upwardly from the perimeter of the bottom wall (16) to form an open-topped cavity which is adapted to receive the dental casting material. The bottom wall (16) and the side wall (17) are formed integrally of polymeric material with the side wall (17) being joined to or attached to the bottom wall (16) by a thin membrane-like connector member (19) that is formed integrally with the perimeter bottom wall (16) and a lower side edge of the side wall (17). The connector member (19) is frangible and easily broken so that the side wall (17) can be torn away from the base and discarded after dental casting material has hardened in the cavity formed by the side wall (17).
摘要:
Method and apparatus for registering an object of known predetermined geometry to scanned three dimensional data such that the object's location may be verified. Such a known object may comprise a less than ideal three-dimensional (3-D) digital object such as a tooth, a dental appliance (e.g., as a tooth bracket model) or other like object, including portions thereof. Knowledge of such an object's location is generally helpful in planning orthodontic treatment, particularly where the location of the object needs to be determined or confirmed or where incomplete or poor scan data is obtained. Aspects of the present invention provide methods of effectively verifying dental appliance location and displaying appliance locations using a computer and three-dimensional models of teeth.
摘要:
A programmed computer is used to create a digital model of an individual component of a patient's dentition. The computer obtains a 3D digital model of the patient's dentition, identifies points in the dentition model that lie on an inter-proximal margin between adjacent teeth in the patient's dentition, and uses the identified points to create a cutting surface that separates portions of the dentition model representing the adjacent teeth.
