    摘要: One embodiment of the apparatus and method is a computerized system (3000) comprising; a handpiece (106) integrating at least one sensor (110) and attaching a cutting tool (104); and at least one other sensor (110) adhered to an arch (112), the arch (112) having a tooth (108) to receive a crown. Another embodiment comprises the computerized system (3000) having a capacity to facilitate configuring of a prepared tooth to generate a digital file. Another embodiment comprises the computerized system (3000) having the capacity to produce an auditory, lighted, or vibration signal, alerting the dentist to increase or decrease the line-of-draw surface tapers (118) as needed to fit a crown. Another embodiment comprises the computerized system (3000) having the capacity to produce signals, alerting the dentist to move on to other surfaces of the prepared tooth as soon as the reduced surface (116) has been adequately reduced to fit a crown. Some of the digital workflow embodiments facilitate configuring of the prepared tooth that fits a premanufactured crown while other embodiments create the digital file that facilitates fabrication of a custom crown.

    摘要: Disclosed is a machinable dental bulk block that is a glass ceramic block including an amorphous glass matrix and crystalline phases introduced into the matrix. A major crystalline phase is lithium disilicate and minor crystalline phases are lithium phosphate and at least one of spodumene and virgilite. The dental block is made of a functionally gradient material in which the major crystalline phase exhibits a gradient of particle sizes in a depth direction of the dental block and which has no interface at a point where the gradient of particle sizes of the major crystalline phase changes. The dental bulk block is useful for production of a dental prosthesis (artificial tooth) similar to a natural tooth. The dental bulk block can reduce time and the number of processing steps to manufacture a dental prosthesis and provides improved structural stability through good force distribution obtained by functionally graded mechanical properties.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for fabricating a dental restoration, comprising the steps of rendering (S101) a first digital tooth model with a first material combination for generating a first actual data set representing the optical properties of the first digital tooth model; determining (S102) a first deviation between a target data set and the first actual data set; rendering (S103) a second digital tooth model based on a second combination of materials to generate a second actual data set representing the optical properties of the second digital tooth model; determining (S104) a second deviation between the target data set and the second actual data set; and fabricating (S105) the dental restoration based on the first digital tooth model when the first deviation is less than the second deviation and fabricating the dental restoration based on the second digital tooth model when the second deviation is less than the first deviation.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for additive manufacturing of a position sensitive colored ceramic article comprising: a) providing at least one flowable ceramic component; b) forming a green body by sequential deposition of the ceramic component provided in step a) and optionally a support material not intended to be part of the final article; c) position sensitive application of a coloring substance in a solvent to at least a part of the surface of the green body formed in step b), wherein the coloring substance is applied simultaneously to the sequential deposition; d) heat treatment or curing of at least a part of the green body surface obtained in step c); wherein the method steps a)-d) are at least performed once; e) optionally removing the support material from the green body; and f) sintering the green body to obtain the ceramic article; wherein the coloring substance is a dyestuff according to ISO 18451-1:2019(E). In addition, the present invention relates to a system adapted to perform the method and a control data set configured, when implemented in an additive manufacturing system, to cause the system to execute the steps of the inventive method.
