    Abstract: A method of machining at least one dental restoration (1) from a workpiece (2) using one or more dental took (3), including a step of defining, a target contour (4) of the dental restoration (1); also including a step of predicting the deflection of the dental tool (3) during pre-machining through a model based on one or more machining parameters; a step of determining based on the prediction step one or more primary locations (5) at which the target contour (4) would have been damaged during pre-machining; a step of modifying the target contour (4) or the corresponding machining path by adding an oversize of material (6) substantially only at the primary locations (5) for preventing damage; and a step of pre-machining the workpiece (2) based on the modified target contour (17) or the corresponding modified machining path.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the design and manufacture of a dental component with a surface, wherein a 3D model of the dental component is designed by means of a CAD unit and the dental component is manufactured by a CAM unit on the basis of the 3D model. In order to provide a method which significantly shortens the time required for the design and manufacture of a dental component, so that the length of the dental session at which the patient must be present is shortened, it is inventively proposed that the 3D model is manufactured in at least one first design step, in which a first 3D submodel is designed with at least one first surface section, and a second design step in which a second 3D submodel is designed with at least one second surface section, wherein the first design step is completed before the second design step and the CAM unit begins the manufacture of the first surface section of the dental component based on the first 3D submodel before the design of the second 3D submodel is completed.

    Abstract: The present teachings relate to a method for transforming a digital 3D dental model to a 2D dental image, the method including: providing, at least two selected images from the 3D dental model; converting, each of the selected images, to a respective color component of a color model; obtaining, by combining the respective color components, the 2D image in a computer-readable format of the color model. The present teachings also relate to a method of classification of the 2D image, a dental procedure assisting system, uses and computer software products.

    Abstract: A hand tool (1) for separating a deep-drawn jaw-spanning dental apparatus such as an aligner or a bite splint of thermoform film. The hand tool includes a grip (2) for holding; a separating element (3) for thermally separating the deep-drawn thermoform film and refining the separated deep-drawn thermoform; a heating device adapted to regulate heating of the separating element (3) so as to increase the temperature of the thermoform film substantially to at least its glass temperature; and a power supply device for supplying electric power to the heating device.
