DENTAL INLAY GRAFT MEASURING/MACHINING SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2009/035142
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A dental inlay graft measuring/machining system comprising three-dimensional shape making means for creating shape data on a virtual tooth row including the shapes of a loss part of a tooth and its adjacent tooth and shape data on the opposite occluding surfaces of the opposite teeth opposed to the virtual tooth row, virtual inlay graft fabricating means for making a virtual inlay graft shape from the shape data on the virtual tooth row and the shape data on the opposite occluding surfaces, occlusion adjusting means for virtually combining the shape data on a ready-made inlay graft shape for inlay graft formation similar to the virtual inlay graft shape with the shape data on the virtual inlay graft shape and adjusting the combined data, subjecting the shape data on the virtual tooth row and the shape data on the opposite occluding surfaces to contact, mastication, and adjustment, subjecting the shape data on the opposite occluding surfaces to virtual movement, subjecting the shape data on the virtual tooth row to virtual jaw movement, thereby displaying the state of the jaw movement on a monitor, and determining the most suitable inlay graft shape of the virtual tooth row, and block machining means for machining a block to be machined according to the most suitable inlay graft shape data to make a dental inlay graft.
