Problems solved by technology

[0006] While this approach using predefined scan volumes offers many benefits (e.g., improved aesthetics, reduced complexity, and potentially accelerated treatment times), this approach relies on scanning technology

Embodiment Construction

[0023] refer to Figure 1A , 1B and 1C, Patient Specific Temporary Prosthesis ("PSTP") 10a, 10b, and 10c are used to grow a final or permanent patient specific prosthesis in accordance with the present disclosure. In addition, PSTPs 10a, 10b, and 10c act as gingival healing abutments because their outer surfaces are contoured to aid in the healing of the patient's gingival tissue.

[0024] specific reference Figure 1A , the PSTP 10a has a supragingival region 12a and a subgingival region 12b, which are separated by a flange 13 . PSTP 10a is a one-piece prosthesis with supragingival region 12a and subgingival region 12b formed from the same material (eg, acrylic). Alternatively, the supragingival region 12a is permanently attached to the subgingival region 12b, making the PSTP a one-piece prosthesis. In such an alternative, the supragingival region 12a may be made of a first material (eg, acrylic) and the subgingival region 12b may be made of a second material (eg, a metal, ...

Abstract

A method for manufacturing a permanent prosthesis for attachment to a dental implant installed in a patient's mouth includes scanning a patient-specific temporary prosthesis (PSTP) to obtain scan data. Attaching the PSTP to the dental implant in the patient's mouth. The gum tissue surrounding the PSTP is allowed to heal in the patient's mouth. The PSTP is physically modified by (i) removing material from the PSTP, (ii) adding material to the PSTP, or (iii) both in response to the patient saying that the aesthetics of the healed gingival tissue surrounding the PSTP is unacceptable. The modified PSTP is scanned and the scan data generated from the scan of the modified PSTP is used to fabricate a permanent prosthesis as a replica of the modified PSTP.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to growing final dentures. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to the use of temporary dentures while final dentures grow. Background technique [0002] Restoration of teeth in partially or totally edentulous patients with artificial dentition is usually done in two stages. In the first stage, an incision is made through the gums to expose the underlying bone. An artificial tooth root in the form of a dental implant is placed in the jawbone for osseointegration. Dental implants generally include threaded bores to receive set screws for retaining mating components thereon. During the first stage, the gingival tissue covering the implant is sutured and heals as the osseointegration process continues. [0003] Once the osseointegration process is complete, the second phase begins. Here, the gum tissue is reopened to expose the end of the dental implant. A healing component or healing abutment is...
