Definitions

  • the invention relates to a calibration method by means of which various devices in the digital workflow can be optimally matched to each other so that at the end of the production process tailor-made workpieces arise. More particularly, the invention relates to methods of calibrating a data acquisition device and a peripheral device (particularly a CAD router, 3D printer, or a laser for laser sintering), specimens developed to perform this method, and sets that include these specimens and thereto include suitable test probes and optionally digital data sets of the test specimen.
  • a data acquisition device and a peripheral device particularly a CAD router, 3D printer, or a laser for laser sintering
  • CAD / CAM technology has made a real triumph.
  • Digital technologies have become established in the dental practice as well as in the dental laboratory and have led to significant changes in diagnostics, planning and therapy.
  • Digital imaging, virtual planning of surgical and prosthetic procedures, and CAD / CAM-based manufacturing techniques form a complete digital workflow that is used in both classic restorative therapy on natural teeth and in oral implantology.
  • One advantage of digital workflow is the use of high quality materials that can only be processed industrially, such as Zirconia.
  • a digital scan takes place in the dental office, the data is sent to a laboratory, which takes over the CAD planning, the CAM production of the workpieces and the control of the fit. The restorations are finally performed in the dental office.
  • the quality and accuracy of the workpieces produced is influenced by the tolerances of the devices used in data acquisition (scanners) and in production (CAD cutters or 3D printers). These tolerances can compromise or even make impossible the ideal fit of the workpieces on the anatomical structures.
  • the precision of the finished workpieces depends i.a. from the peripherals receiving their baseline data from the recorders.
  • the peripherals are manufactured in a mechanical production. This production is only conditionally accurate (tolerance).
  • the tolerance is due to the mechanical structure of the devices and their mechanical capacity to produce three-dimensional bodies from electronic data. The principle is: every device produces differently - each device is unique.
  • the patent application DE 10 2004 022 750 Al relates to micro-test specimens for measuring and checking dimensional measuring devices.
  • the test specimen has a plurality of pyramids arranged on a surface formed by molding an array of pyramids etched in a silicon wafer.
  • the test specimen does not contain a structure which forms an inclined bearing surface after the engagement of the positive and negative parts, which runs off to the surface of the test specimen and is therefore not optimal for calibrating devices with regard to the production of dental prosthetic workpieces.
  • the most important problems in this respect include either workpieces that are too small to prevent slipping on the natural or the implant abutment, or too large sized workpieces that make it impossible to insert them into a cavity or negative mold without tension.
  • the fit can thus be accomplished only by expanding (inside trim) or reducing (outside trim) of the parts.
  • the minimum material thickness defined in the software and CAD design can be undercut.
  • Impairment of the stability form which protects the workpiece against rotation and tilting movements possible.
  • the inventor was able to observe that a reason for the occurring inaccuracies is that devices in combination do not necessarily provide the desired manufacturing precision and a comparison between the devices with fine adjustment is absolutely necessary.
  • Each device has a characteristic tolerance, ie the deviation for each device in its own precision and manufacturing strategy. This fact applies to all devices in the digital workflow (data acquisition and peripheral devices). This inevitably leads to uncontrollable final results when these devices work in concert, even if each of the devices is properly set up and operated correctly.
  • the inventor has been able to develop a special method of calibration suitable for balancing various devices. This method is intended to guarantee more precise workpieces by means of a controlled and standardized manufacturing process.

  • the data acquisition device to be calibrated and the peripheral device form a pair or a unit, which should also interact in future production processes. Such a vote is necessary so that accurately fitting workpieces can be created with sufficient precision.
  • the inventive method should enable the detection of the correct (optimized) parameters or settings for a specific device combination.
  • preferred data recording devices are scanners, especially 3D scanners and computer tomographs, in particular devices for digital volume tomography (DVT).

  • Numerous adjustment parameters in the respective software modules of the devices are responsible for the tolerance values.
  • the adjustment of the adjustment parameters is provided and desired by the device manufacturer.
  • Other device-specific properties, such as optics and mechanics elements and their interaction, have considerable influence on the operation of the devices.
  • the sum of all settings determines the quality of the final product.
  • the calibration is carried out by means of standardized test specimens.
  • This preferably consists of 2 solid bodies, a positive part and a negative part. Positive part and negative part engage as a patrix and die as closely as possible in each other.

  • the form template can then be changed within the parameters required in the design software in terms of size and design.
  • the shape, size and design of the templates can be adapted to the workpieces to be produced.
  • Specifically designed and suitable test specimens for the calibration method described herein are a further aspect of the present invention and will be described in detail below.

If the accuracy of fit is already reached during the first pass of the method according to the invention (steps a) to f)), ie within the range of predefined tolerances, step g) is omitted, and step h) can immediately follow step f). Step g) is therefore optional or only required as long as the predefined tolerance of the fit accuracy is not reached. Step h) is also optional. If the peripheral device only receives data from a certain data acquisition device (or a few data), the parameters can also be kept unchanged in the CAD software and in the peripheral device.
  • the calibration should be such that a specific device pair of a data acquisition device and a peripheral device with each other be calibrated. Since each device has its own tolerance, a general calibration of entire device groups is not expedient.
  • a particular scanner can be coupled with different peripheral devices (eg from another production facility) and that calibrations / parameterizations can be performed for each of these conceivable configurations.
  • a given peripheral device can be "served" by different scanners. Also in this case you can make specific settings.

  • FIG. 15 shows a further test specimen according to the invention (positive part (2) and negative part (1)) with three pillars (9a, 9b and 9c) in a view from above, wherein the shape of the main body of the negative part varies. All three pillars (9a, 9b and 9c) have a central channel (6) with a step (7), the channels extending through the main body.
  • the negative part (1) consists of three pillars (9a, 9b and 9c), which are interconnected by connectors which form the main body of the negative part.
  • FIG. 16 shows a test body according to the invention (positive part (2) and negative part (1)) with four pillars in a view from above. All four pillars (9a, 9b, 9c and 9d) have a central channel (6) with a step (7).
  • the positive part (2) has a rectangular basic shape.
  • the negative part (1) consists of four pillars (9a, 9b, 9c and 9d) which are interconnected by three connectors which form the main body of the negative part.
  • FIG. 17 shows a further test specimen according to the invention (positive part (2) and negative part (1)) with four pillars (9a, 9b, 9c and 9d) in a view from above.
  • the negative part (1) consists of four pillars (9a, 9b, 9c and 9d), which are interconnected by four connectors which form the main body of the negative part.
  • FIG. 18 shows three different test probes (8a, 8b, 8c) which can be used in conjunction with the test specimens according to the invention.
  • the test pin (8a) has a step (7) which extends at an angle of 90 ° (herein always indicated as an angle in degrees to the horizontal bearing surface). Such a test pin is to be used if the channel (6) in the test body has a corresponding step (7) with a 90 ° angle (internal angle, or 180 ° external angle).
  • the test pin (8b) has a taper which forms at an angle of 135 ° and the test pin (8c) has a step of 160 °. Both test pins can only be used if the channel (6) has a corresponding step in the test specimen.
  • FIG. 19 shows a dental implant system 1, comprising an implant 12 and a prosthetic component 13, as well as a fastening means 14, by means of which the prosthetic component 13 is fastened to the implant 12.
  • the fastening means 14 is designed as a screw, which engages, for example, in a fastener recess 19 of the implant 12 designed as a screw thread.
  • the prosthetic component is only stylized and partially shown here. It can be an abutment, a crown or an outer sleeve.
  • the prosthetic component 13 embodied as an abutment in this example has a so-called sheath, that is to say an area extending apically from the outside surrounding the implant 12.
  • Such a sheath can be used to precisely define the gap between implant 12 and abutment 13 and to determine the extent of overcapping.
  • a computer-implemented method according to the invention can be used to determine the optimal, vertical contouring 16 of the jacket 20 of the prosthetic component 13. This should be adapted to the conditions in the patient's mouth, eg gingival margin and crown contour.
  • the horizontal contour 17 is shown schematically, which is another parameter that can be determined with the computer-implemented method according to the invention.
  • the extent or the length of the capping or protuberance which may also vary in the circumference of the shell 20, as shown in Figure 21.
  • the computer-implemented method according to the invention can also serve to plan the interspace design 18 between two adjacent teeth or tooth replacement structures.
  • the distance 22 of correspondent points of adjacent structures, the height of the jawbone and the design of the approximal surfaces 21 play a role.
  • the distance 22 must not fall below a critical minimum, otherwise the hard and soft tissues are compressed too much. This impairment of the "biological width" inevitably leads to inflammation, possibly accompanied by tissue loss.
  • the computer-implemented procedure ensures that the parameters that are necessary for the formation of anatomical papillae (eg distance 22, bone height, contour of the crowns in the approximal area) are set in a suitable, mutual relation to each other.
