Preferred anti-microbial agents are selected from the group consisting of Hexitidin, Cetypyridininumcloride (CPC), Chlorhexidine and its derivates (CHX) and Triclosan. | 02-19-2009 |
20090053669 | SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR CASTING PHYSICAL TOOTH MODEL - A casting chamber for casting a physical tooth model representing a patient's tooth includes a chamber body and a lid. The chamber body includes a cavity adapted to hold a negative impression of the patient's tooth and to receive a cast material, wherein the negative impression and the chamber body are registered by a registration unit. The chamber lid is configured to seal the cast material in the casting chamber to permit the casting material to solidify in the casting chamber to form a physical tooth model representing the patient's tooth. | 02-26-2009 |
20090155736 | Method for producing dental moldings - In order to produce dental molded parts for a dental prosthesis, a shaping model of the desired dental molded part is made, for example, from wax. The model is embedded in a heat-resistant molding compound. The molding compound is subsequently hardened, and the wax model is melted in order to form a mold cavity that corresponds to the negative of the desired dental molded part. The thermoplastic heated to the processing temperature is introduced with pressure into the formed mold cavity in the molding compound, and the thermoplastic, which forms the desired dental molded part, is removed from the mold once the molding compound is solidified. The molding compound has a temperature of at least 150° C. at the point in time at which the thermoplastic is introduced. | 06-18-2009 |
20090208895 | PLASTER DENTAL CAST GUM PLATE MOLDING MOLD - A plaster dental cast gum plate molding mold for molding a plaster dental cast gum plate having pins is disclosed. The body of the mold is made of an elastic material, having a cavity surrounded by a smoothly arched inner wall, a smoothly arched outer wall and a bottom wall, a plurality of insertion holes cut through the bottom wall for the insertion of a respective pin, and a plurality of alignment pegs respectively perpendicularly extending from the smoothly arched outer wall and suspending in the cavity so that the molded plaster cast gum plate has dents corresponding to the alignment pegs for quick recognition of the locations of the pins after positioning of the plaster cast gum plate on a base plate and bonding of a dental cast to the flat top surface of the plaster cast gum plate for enabling the dentist to cut one individual tooth model accurately. | 08-20-2009 |
20090298006 | Thermoformed dental appliance from multiple ply sheet - A dental appliance comprising at least two plies of thermoformable material, wherein a first ply of a first material, having a first set of characteristics properties, provides a first primary surface of the dental appliance and wherein a second ply of a material different from the first ply, having a second set of characteristic properties, provides an opposing second primary surface of the dental appliance. | 12-03-2009 |
20100143858 | 3-D ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY SIMULATION - The invention relates to a method for simulating an orthognathic operation, wherein, to simulate the displacement of the upper dental arch | 06-10-2010 |
20100330524 | HARDENABLE DENTAL ARTICLE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - Methods of manufacturing hardenable dental articles, packaged hardenable dental articles, and methods of packaging hardenable dental articles are disclosed. In various embodiments, the manufacturing may involve molding a hardenable dental material in a mold cavity that may be lined with a mold liner. The mold body may also form the package of the hardenable dental article formed within the mold cavity. In other embodiments, the hardenable dental articles may be provided in mold cavities located in sacrificial mold bodies that may be torn, stretched, softened, dissolved, etc. to release the hardenable dental articles in the mold cavities. | 12-30-2010 |
20120028210 | STENTS AND METHOD FOR DENTAL RESTORATION USING SAME - A method for dental restoration that includes disposing a flowable and curable tooth restoration composition into an open cavity of a stent that defines contours of a final design model of a patient's teeth and includes an interproximal contact that has been thinned along an interproximal contact zone but not separated, seating the stent on the patient's teeth such that the flowable and curable tooth restoration composition fills a space between at least one tooth to be restored and the stent, initiating curing of the flowable and curable tooth restoration composition in the stent such that the composition bonds to the at least one tooth to be restored and forms at least one restored tooth and removing the stent from the patient's teeth to expose the at least one restored tooth. | 02-02-2012 |
20130130192 | LUMINESCENT IMPRESSION MATERIAL - A physiologically compatible impression material comprises 0.005 wt % to 4.99 wt %, preferably 0.01 wt % to 1.0 wt %, and particularly preferably 0.025 wt % to 0.25 wt % of at least one luminescent material. | 05-23-2013 |
20140329196 | System And Method For A Bone Engaging Dental Implant Surgical Stent Placement System - A bone engaging dental implant surgical stent placement system comprising: a gingival depth impression pin, wherein the gingival depth impression pin is placed in a patient's bony ridge to establish a penetration site. An impression is then created of the patient's bony ridge by placing an impression material around the gingival depth impression pin and the patient's gingival tissue. A stent fabrication guide tube is then placed over the gingival depth impression pin, and a dental stone is poured into the impression to create a working model, with a penetration hole for placing a stent fabrication guide pin into the penetration hole. A baseplate matrix is then molded around the stent fabrication guide pin to create the stent, which positions a pilot drill guide tube to actively engage with the bony ridge and to act as a drill guide when making a pilot hole. | 11-06-2014 |
