    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a two-dimensional whole image of a recording region captured by means of a plurality of individual images, each having its own viewing direction and its own distance, wherein a spatial orientation of a main image plane of each individual image relative to a main image plane of the respective further individual image is determined on the basis of an overlap of the respectively captured subregions, and at least a plurality of the individual images are combined in accordance with the spatial orientations to form the whole image. The whole image area is the surface of a torus.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for creating a virtual dental image from a 3D volume (1) comprising volumetric image data. Firstly, a sub-volume (8, 12, 15, 18) of the 3D volume (1) is defined and then a virtual projection image (30, 41) is generated for said sub-volume (8, 12, 15, 18) from a specific X-ray imaging direction (11) by computation of the volumetric image data in said X-ray imaging direction (11).

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for capturing a three-dimensional x-ray image (1) of an object (2) by means of an x-ray system (3) comprising an x-ray source (4), an x-ray detector (5) and a shutter matrix (7), the shutter matrix (7) having a plurality of shutter elements (18), the x-ray absorption properties of which are controllable. In the first method step, at least one region (21) to be captured of the object (2) is defined, wherein settings are planned for the individual shutter elements (18) of the shutter matrix (7) for different rotary positions (14, 15, 16, 17), taking into account the defined area (21) to be captured. Then, a plurality of two-dimensional x-ray images is captured from the planned rotary positions (14, 15, 16, 17) during at least one partial rotation (9) using the planned settings of the shutter elements (18), wherein the overall three-dimensional x-ray image (1) of the area (21) to be captured is generated from the individual two-dimensional x-ray images.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an individualized dental impression tray and to one such impression tray, wherein a digital impression tray model of an individualized impression tray is created on the basis of a digital jaw model, the impression tray model has a carrier with at least one inner surface which at least partially corresponds to a negative form of the jaw model, at least one surface subregion on the inner surface is marked by hand or automatically detected, a retaining structure is arranged above and/or below the surface subregion, the impression tray model is stored with the retaining structure as a production template, and the impression tray is produced by machining according to the production template. The retaining structure has a first surface which extends substantially parallel to the surface subregion or substantially in line with the surface subregion and has at least one recess running through it, wherein a depression adjoins each recess of the first surface, the depression extends from the recess in the direction of the carrier and/or into the carrier, and each depression has at least one undercut.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for measuring a dental situation comprising a plurality of implants and/or preparations for inserting dental restorations. Using a first measuring method, a first region of the dental situation is initially recorded while first measurement data are generated. The first region is selected to comprise at least two implants and/or preparations. Subsequently, object regions surrounding the implants and/or the preparations are established, and, while using a second measuring method, the established object regions are detected, and second measurement data are generated. The second measuring method is more precise than the first measuring method.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a sintering furnace for components consisting of sintering material, especially dental components and in particular components consisting of ceramic, and a method for sintering such components. The sintering furnace 1 comprises a heatable furnace chamber 2 for the component 9 to be sintered, the furnace chamber 2 having a wall section 6 to be opened for inserting the component 9 to be sintered into the furnace chamber 2. Drive means 10 are provided for mechanized opening and closing of the wall section 6, and a control 11 is provided for the drive means 10 that has an actuation element 12 for the drive means 10. Furthermore, a heating device 5 for the furnace chamber 2 is provided, and the control 11 causes the furnace chamber 2 to be heated. Actuating the control element 12 triggers the loading sequence of the control 11, and the drive means 10 are automatically actuated by the control 11 corresponding to the loading sequence. An additional subject is a method for operating the sintering furnace, as well as a computer program therefor.
