PRODUCTION OF INDIVIDUAL DENTAL PROSTHESES VIA CAD/CAM AND RAPID MANUFACTURING / RAPID PROTOTYPING BASED ON DATA OF THE SITUATION IN THE MOUTH OBTAINED BY DIGITAL MEANS
SummaryMethods for the production of complete or partial prostheses involve, firstly A) provision of 3D data of the situation in the mouth in the edentulate or partly toothed state B) digital designing of the denture base for lower and upper jaw each C) digital positioning of virtual teeth with appropriate occlusion and a tooth shape selected according to aesthetic criteria, in the case of complete prostheses, D1) production of the dental arch using an automated method from the groups of layer-building and of material-removing methods and D2) production of the denture base using an automated method from the groups of layer-building and of material-removing methods and, in the case of partial prostheses D1) production of the dental arch using an automated method from the groups of layer-building and of material-removing methods and D2) production of the support structures or fastening elements using an automated method from the groups of layer-building and of material-removing methods.
