Description

Dental Restoration System

The present invention relates to a tooth restoration system, and more particularly, to a tooth restoration system that allows restoration of lost or damaged teeth to a state prior to tooth loss.

In general, teeth are the first part of the digestive system, arranged up and down on the upper and lower jaw and arranged in a symmetrical arch form. They occupy about 20% of the surface area of the mouth. The wider and upper jaw engages in a slightly covering form of the lower jaw.

And the teeth that are exposed in the mouth are enamel (enamel), the hardest tissue in our body, making it easy to chew, crush and digest food in the mouth.

In addition, the teeth are arranged in the proper position with appropriate shapes such as jawbone, facial shape, bite force (chewing force), etc., which helps in correct pronunciation and speech (see Naver Knowledge Dictionary).

If the important tooth is lost as described above, the patient visits the dentist to repair the tooth, and the dentist opens the impression (impression) to restore the tooth, and the damaged part is prep (tooth). In order to attach the restoration to the damaged area, a bone (impression) is made to remove the damaged area regularly, and the bone is sent to the laboratory to produce an artificial tooth.

When the bone of the lost tooth comes to the laboratory, the laboratory uses a bone from the dentist to make a plaster model and then create a dental restoration.

However, the basic model to be produced at this time has a problem in that the tooth is lost in the dentist's bones, so the artificial tooth manufacturing technicians do not know the patient's tooth prototype.

As a result, the dental restoration is made by the technician's sense using a bone sent from a dentist, and the dental restoration is sent back to the dentist so that the dentist repairs the patient's lost tooth.

As described above, artificial teeth produced by the technician's sense cannot be the same as the missing teeth, resulting in a thicker, larger and smaller difference than before the lost tooth, which is awkward even when the patient recovers the lost tooth. There is a problem that is felt.

However, when the lost tooth is repaired by the above method, the tooth is not in its original state, so even if the lost tooth is repaired, a feeling of awkwardness and foreignness different from the state before the tooth is lost is felt.

As such, the patient having lost a tooth repairs the lost tooth using a tooth restoration manufactured by a technician of the technician, and there is a problem that the patient suffers awkwardness or a sense of foreign matter generated at this time.

As described above, the lost tooth cannot be accurately restored to the state before it was lost, and thus, the patient has to bear the feeling of wearing the tooth restoration produced by the technician at the laboratory.

As described above, most of the people who come to the dentist to treat the tooth come from the lost state, so it is impossible to restore the tooth before the loss.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, the object is to be able to repair the same as before the tooth is lost or damaged.

Means for solving the above problems will be described as follows.

A scanning step of 3D scanning a tooth and a dental prototype in a dry state;

A data storage step of storing the data scanned by the scanning step in a server;

If the tooth is lost while the data is stored on the server, the bone transfer step is to open the bone and then send the bone to the laboratory.

Scan data transfer step of sending the health condition 3D scan data of the patient stored in the laboratory;

In the laboratory, copy the data sent by the transfer step using only 3D scan data sent from the dentist to copy only the appearance of the tooth corresponding to the lost or damaged tooth among the prototypes of the patient's teeth stored in the server using the CAD / CAM system. Appearance manufacturing step for producing the appearance of the lost tooth to produce a restoration using the appearance of the tooth;

A tooth restoration manufacturing step of manufacturing a tooth restoration based on the appearance produced by the external appearance step; .

According to the present invention as described above, when the state of the tooth before the loss or damage of the tooth is stored in the 3D scan and the lost or damaged tooth occurs, only the portion of the tooth is extracted from the 3D scanned data in this data. It is a method of manufacturing a lost tooth based on the appearance of the tooth.

The present invention as described above can be restored to the original tooth as it is by making a dental restoration based on the data scanned in 3D in a healthy state of the patient.

In addition, the present invention is to reduce the waste of manpower because it is only necessary to send the data to the laboratory by mobilizing the bone to maneuver the bone to make a restoration after making a pattern for the tooth lost at the dentist, It can shorten the working time for producing dental restorations.

As described above, the present invention is a useful invention that can restore the original shape when the tooth is lost or damaged.

Block diagram showing the manufacturing process of the present invention

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the following description of the present invention, detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear.

As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention allows a person to visit a dentist in a healthy dental state and 3D scan a tooth prototype in a dry state to store the data in a server.

As described above, when a lost or damaged tooth occurs in the state of storing the dental data in a dry state, the patient visits the dentist and is treated by a dentist.

The dentist sends the dental data stored in the server to the laboratory for 3D scanning in the patient's condition.

If the pattern of the missing tooth is 3D scanned again and sent together with the dry state data, the technician will produce a dental restoration based on the dry state data and the damaged or missing state data. It can be produced perfectly.

As described above, the laboratory restores the appearance of the lost tooth using the CAD / CAM system based on the data sent from the dentist by mail or disk, and forms the mold as wax or plaster on the appearance to manufacture the dental restoration.

In this case, the dental restoration is made by the technician to produce the dental restoration using the data scanned in the dry state of the patient, so that the dental restoration can be perfectly made in the same condition as the dry state.

As described above, the dental restoration produced by the technician at the laboratory based on the dry 3D scan data is sent back to the dentist, and the dentist may fix the dental restoration to the patient's lost or damaged tooth.

The present invention as described above can be used comfortably without feeling awkward or foreign matter because the tooth before the damage can be restored to its original state as it is, the need for reinforcement wax work for the lost part from the technician's point of view. This can shorten the work.

As described above, the pattern of the lost tooth of the patient or the fixation of the tooth restoration made in the laboratory is fixed to the lost tooth of the patient, which is a medical practice performed by a dentist, and thus is not described in detail.

The protection scope of the present invention described above and illustrated in the drawings is limited only by the matters described in the claims, and those skilled in the art according to the technical field of the present invention may change the technical spirit of the present invention in various forms. It is possible.

Accordingly, such improvements and modifications will fall within the scope of the present invention as long as it is obvious to those skilled in the art.
