Abstract: An intraoral apparatus and method of using the same. The apparatus includes a tray for positioning within an oral cavity of an individual to receive a dental arch of the individual. Data acquisition elements coupled to the tray are for acquiring data usable for generating images of intraoral features including the dental arch, a palate, a facial sulcus, and a lingual sulcus of the individual. The images are combinable for determining a sulcus depth of the individual.

Abstract: An attachment part for an implant or second attachment part can be produced at a production station. The external shape of the attachment part is scanned at a scanning station at which a wax model is used. The scanned information is digitized and transmitted to the production station. An insert which has the surface configuration of the implant or of the second attachment part is selected from among a number of units having different possible surface configurations. The unit is applied in or on a holder which is centered on a turntable. The holder is provided with or operates with or operates with orientation information for the holder relative to the table. The model which is designed as a wax model is applied on the holder over the unit. The turntable is rotated and the external shape of the wax model is scanned. A blank with a pre-produced surface configuration which corresponds to the said selected surface configuration is machined in the machining equipment with the aid of the digitized information and the said rotation information.
