| 20090081618 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMMEDIATE LOADING OF FIXED HYBRID DENTAL PROSTHESES - Disclosed are apparatus and methods to facilitate the immediate loading of a hybrid prosthesis into the mouth of a patient, thereby avoiding the traditional delay of several months for such devices. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090274999 | CUSTOM IMPRESSION COPING AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE AND USE THEREOF - A device for retracting gingival tissue away from a tooth or plurality of teeth prepared to receive a dental prosthesis comprising a retraction/impression material associated with a custom impression coping to be packed into a sulcus associated with the prepared tooth, and coincidentally obtaining an impression of said tooth or teeth. The device is preferably compressible, deformably rigid, extensile and non-elastic and will not stick to the gingiva or tooth structure thereby allowing for atraumatic removal. A method of use is also disclosed. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20090286204 | COSMETIC DENTAL STRUCTURES AND METHODS - Compositions and methods are provided for a cosmetic dental structure, comprising a veneer body sized to cover at least a portion of a tooth structure. The veneer body has a front face and a reinforcement rib extending outwardly from a rear face of the veneer body. The reinforcement rib can be configured to strengthen the veneer body, and the reinforcement rib and veneer body are configured to be adhered to the tooth structure. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20100003641 | Dental crown system - A system for providing a dental crown of substantially pure zirconia. The zirconia crown may be formed by one of several manufacturing process. The formed crown exterior is polished and fine polished to produce an aesthetic outer surface mimicking a natural tooth. | 01-07-2010 |
| 20100015576 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT USING HARD TISSUE OR MATERIAL MICROPERFORATION - A method of modifying or treating biological tissue by microperforating hard tissue is disclosed. The method comprises identifying a target area associated with the hard tissue, using a laser beam to perforate at least one incision in the hard tissue, wherein at least one incision has a diameter from a range of 0.001 mm to 0.5 mm and an aspect ratio from a range of 1 to 100 times, introducing a treatment substance into the incision, and causing the treatment substance to interact with the target area. Also a device for microperforating hard biological tissue is disclosed, comprising a laser pump system and a laser head coupled to the laser pump system for generating a pulsed laser having ranges of wavelengths, a pulse duration, pulse energy from a selected range, a beam divergence factor less than 5, a repetition rate higher than 50 Hz; and a beam delivery system comprised of a focusing system for creating a beam having a diameter from a range of 0.001 mm to 0.5 mm. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100028835 | PEDODONTIC/VETERINARY DENTAL CROWN SYSTEM - A dental crown consisting essentially of stabilized zirconia. The dental crown is particularly suited for pedodontic and veterinary applications. The zirconia crown may be formed by one of several manufacturing processes. The formed crown exterior is polished and fine polished to produce an aesthetic outer surface mimicking a natural tooth. Also disclosed is a method for providing a dental crown to a natural tooth and a kit of prefabricated crowns. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20100062398 | COLOURING SOLUTION FOR DENTAL CERAMIC FRAMEWORK AND RELATED METHODS - The invention relates to a colouring solution for dental ceramic framework comprising a solvent, a colouring agent comprising metal ions, and a complexing agent, wherein the amount of complexing agent is sufficient to dissolve the colouring agent in the solvent. The invention also relates to a process for colouring dental ceramic framework and dental ceramic framework coloured with the colouring solution. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20120148987 | Method For Producing Tooth Replacements And Auxiliary Dental Parts - In a method for forming a dental part, a laser beam is guided over a powder layer of biocompatible material. The laser is guided by a computer controlled laser scanning system based on data representing the shape of the cross-section through the shaped body. The powder is substantially melted by the laser beam to form a layer in the shaped body, to build the shaped body entirely from layers of laser-melted material. | 06-14-2012 |
| 20130224691 | Dental Appliance - An appliance fabricated to improve the appearance of a patient's smile includes a plurality of simulated teeth. The interior surfaces of each of the teeth closely fits and conforms to the surface of a patient's real teeth while the outer surfaces of each of the simulated teeth has an ideal surface configuration. The dental appliance provides the patient with the appearance of a perfect set of teeth and an ideal smile without a need to alter the dental structure of the patient's teeth. | 08-29-2013 |
| 20130244209 | PLASTIC IMPLANT ANALOG - An implant analog for use in dental procedures has a plastic member which has a central bore. A metal insert which has a female thread is located in the central bore. The outer surface of the metal insert has a series of projections which lock the metal insert and the plastic body and prevent relative rotation or axial motion between the metal insert and the plastic member. | 09-19-2013 |
| 20140377718 | DENTAL MILLING BLOCK CONTAINING INDIVIDUALIZED DENTAL ARTICLE AND PROCESS OF PRODUCTION - The invention relates to a dental milling block ( | 12-25-2014 |
| 20150366643 | TOOTH VENEER ELEMENT, AND METHOD FOR THE USE AND PRODUCTION THEREOF - The invention relates to a tooth veneer element ( | 12-24-2015 |
| 20160095799 | METHOD FOR MAKING A MACHINABLE BLOCK OF POLYURETHANE ELASTOMER FOR USE IN FABRICATING DENTAL APPLIANCES - A method of making a machinable puck of a hard, solvent free, substantially non-hydrophilic polyurethane elastomer for use in fabricating dental appliances. The elastomer has a hardness of not less than about Shore D65. A first polyester or polyether polyol with a functionality greater than two and a molecular weight greater than one hundred is reacted with an isocyanate prepolymer prepared from one or more branched polyester or polyether polyols with a functionality greater than two; and then blending prepolymer and first polyester or polyether polyol with nanoparticles and colorants as needed. In one embodiment, the polypropylene glycol triether and the isocyanate prepolymer comprises dicyclohexylmethane 4,4′-diisocyanate. The machined, elastomer appliance is able to be heated in hot water to make it flexible and formable for individual, customed-fitting for the patient. | 04-07-2016 |
