Benefits of technology

[0007]Disclosed herein are dental veneers and methods of making and using such dental veneers. The dental veneers according to the invention relate to solid bodies, which can be placed upon a tooth stump and/or tooth prepared in the manner known from prior art, in order to appropriately cover the front of a discolored tooth and optically im...

Problems solved by technology

In the event the dental veneer was not produced with sufficient diligence, a new dental veneer must be produced, because an adjustment to the conditions i...

Embodiment Construction

[0026]Disclosed herein are dental veneers made from composite materials comprising one or more types of organic binder and one or more types of solid particulate filler. An exterior surface of the dental veneer can be at least partially laser-treated to form a continuously hardened and / or glazed layer on the facial veneer surface. The composite from which the dental veneer is made may comprise at specific sections, preferably the surface of the dental veneer, a layer which consists essentially of only the glazed layer of the solid particles.

[0027]With regards to their shape, dental veneers of this type can be processed on site by the dentist using the common tools of his / her practice and thus be adjusted to the conditions given in the patient. This eliminates the necessity of producing the dental veneers in a lab.

[0028]Similar to prior veneers, the dental veneers according to the invention have solid bodies, which may be placed upon a tooth stump and / or tooth prepared in manners kno...

Abstract

A dental veneer made from a composite comprising at least one organic binder, preferably with methacrylate, and inorganic solid particles as fillers. Methods for manufacturing the dental veneer include curing the composite with heat and light under pressure followed by laser treating the facial surface of the veneer to form a smoother facial surface. Filler particles at the facial surface of the veneer can be melted and/or coalesced together to form a continuous glass surface, which is more natural looking and better resembles natural tooth material as compared to ceramic veneers or other composited veneers lacking surface treatment.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of International Patent Application No. PCT / AT2011 / 000285, filed Jun. 29, 2011, entitled “TOOTH FRONT VENEER,” which claims the benefit of Austria Patent Application No. A 1124 / 2010, filed Jul. 2, 2010. The disclosure of the foregoing applications are incorporated herein in their entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Field of Invention[0003]The present invention relates to dental veneers and methods of manufacturing dental veneers.[0004]2. Technology Review[0005]Dental veneers are known in the art and are frequently simply called “veneers”. They usually represent cup-shaped solid bodies, which are placed as faces upon perhaps previously ground teeth and / or tooth stumps, in order to provide a discolored tooth with the desired look. Here, they generally replace the natural front of the respective tooth.[0006]Dental veneers are typically custom-made for a particle from a ceramic. First the required geometry of...
