[0050] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0051] like Fig. 9 , Fig.10As shown, it is a structural diagram of an existing attachment denture, which is a removable partial denture or fixed removable denture with attachment as the main retention form. It is usually connected by a precision attachment, which consists of two parts, male and female. One part (the first part of the attachment 350) is combined with the abutment (crown or crown bridge 220); the other part (the second part of the attachment 360) is combined with the removable partial denture (denture bracket 370) to provide good retention, support, stability and aesthetic effects for the denture. There are two clinical restoration schemes for this type of single-end free: the first is to implant the implant into the alveolar bone through the first implant restoration surgery, and then perform a second surgery to plan the transfer of the implant composite base to perform the restoration of the upper restoration crown. The implant restoration manufacturing process is complex, the manufacturing cycle is long, and the cost is also high. Compared with the connection design of this type of precision body and partial bracket, the design product of this device has a wider application, higher suitability, and is a more affordable choice. The second restoration method: For this type of single-end free denture, the surface of the adjacent teeth can be worn to build a bridge. The two ends of the bridge are subjected to force, which will damage the periodontal tissue of the abutment teeth and cause trauma, and fail to effectively protect the abutment teeth. Therefore, the attachment denture can reduce the torque on the abutment teeth through the joint support of double abutment teeth or multiple abutment teeth, so that the occlusal force is transmitted along the long axis of the tooth as much as possible to prevent trauma to the periodontal tissue of the abutment teeth. In addition to double abutment teeth and multiple abutment teeth, the design of the root attachment will not generate torque on the abutment teeth, and the occlusal force can be transmitted along the long axis. When the denture is subjected to force, the abutment teeth can be physiologically stimulated without causing trauma to the periodontal tissues, thereby effectively preserving the abutment teeth.

[0052] The preferred embodiment of the present application provides a method for making a digital precision attachment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a method for making a digital precision attachment, wherein the method comprises the following steps:

[0053] Step S100, obtaining the patient's oral three-dimensional data, and designing a crown and bridge according to the patient's oral three-dimensional data to obtain a crown and bridge digital model.

[0054] In the specific process, the patient's oral three-dimensional data can be obtained by 3D scanning. The patient's oral three-dimensional data at least includes: periodontal tissue three-dimensional data, gum three-dimensional data and tooth three-dimensional data, wherein the gum three-dimensional data is the gum three-dimensional data of the gums around the missing teeth, and the tooth three-dimensional data is the tooth three-dimensional data of the teeth opposite the missing teeth. The patient's oral three-dimensional data can be visualized in the software, so that the designer can fully and accurately see the actual situation of the patient's oral cavity on the screen. For example, by scanning an impression (such as Figure 5 The three-dimensional data of the patient's oral cavity is obtained by normal flipping, and after the scan data is imported, it is used to create a digital model design of the periodontal, crown and gums contained in the acquired three-dimensional data.

[0055] In this embodiment, scanning the impression to obtain the three-dimensional data of the patient's oral cavity is taken as an example, so that a digital model can be formed on the display interface of the software, and the actual situation in the patient's oral cavity can be simulated through the digital model.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, step S100 specifically includes the following steps:

[0057] Step S110: Make an oral impression of the patient in advance, and replicate the oral shape of the patient through the impression, so that an outer contour shape is formed on the impression film, and the outer contour shape matches the outer contour of the teeth in the patient's oral cavity in both positive and negative directions.

[0058] Step S120: Obtain the patient's oral 3D data by scanning the impression. Scan the impression with a 3Shape oral 3D scanner (such as Figure 5 ) to obtain the impression scanning data, so that the shape of the physical impression film can be digitized.

[0059] Step S130: Create a digital model of the patient's oral cavity 100 (eg, Figure 6 The impression scan data is restored into a digital model of the patient's oral cavity through the 3Shape oral 3D scanner (the digital model of the patient's oral cavity and the patient's oral 3D data are in a corresponding positive and negative relationship, which can be understood as a mold and a plaster mold formed in the mold. The digital model of the patient's oral cavity is a digitized shape that is proportional to the tooth shape and other structures in the patient's oral cavity). After the impression is scanned by the 3Shape warehouse, the software will automatically flip the data so that the patient's oral 3D data scanned by the impression is restored to the form of a digital model of the oral cavity.

[0060] Step S140: Create a crown and bridge digital model according to the outline of the patient's oral digital model. In the software visualization interface, a crown and bridge structure matching the outline of the patient's oral digital model is designed to obtain a crown and bridge digital model 200 (such as Figure 6 For example, the crown and bridge design can be performed in 3Shape software to obtain a dental crown and bridge digital model 200.

[0061] Step S200: Combine the crown and bridge digital model and filter the attachment database according to the condition parameters to match the corresponding first attachment digital model 300 (such as Figure 8 As shown), where the attachment database is created in advance.

[0062] In the specific process, according to the digital model of the crown and bridge and the actual situation in the patient's oral cavity, two adjacent crowns can be detected by an optical measuring instrument to obtain the data of the two adjacent crowns. According to the data of the two adjacent crowns, a digital model of the precision attachment can be made by 3D modeling software, and then the digital model of the precision attachment can be inserted into the digital model of the oral cavity so that the digital model of the precision attachment is parallel to the direction of insertion of the crown and bridge.

[0063] Alternatively, the designed digital model of the precision attachment may be saved as a database. After the digital model of the crown and bridge is designed, the database may be directly matched and called according to the relevant conditions (condition parameters) in the patient's oral cavity to directly generate a matching digital model of the precision attachment 300 (e.g. Figure 6 and Figure 7 For example: Figure 3 As shown, the attachment database in step S200 is pre-created and specifically includes the following steps:

[0064] Step S210, modeling the first part of the attachment of different stent types to form a digital model 310 of the first part of the attachment, wherein the digital model 310 of the first part of the attachment includes an attachment body digital model part and a local support digital model part, and the local support digital model part 320 has a digital model for connecting with the second part 360 of the attachment (such as Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown) matching connection structure.

[0065] like Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, the precision attachments have uniform male and female structures and are finished metal parts. The two parts of the attachment fit very well after the denture is in place. Usually, one part of the attachment structure 350 can be fixed to the mesial or distal surface of the crown of the abutment tooth (on the crown bridge 220) by welding, bonding or physical retention methods, while the other part of the structure is placed on the denture bracket 370 in the edentulous area (connecting the denture). Therefore, the male part (the second part of the attachment 360) adopts a labeled structure, while the female part (the first part of the attachment) needs to be designed according to the patient's dental conditions. In this embodiment, only a digital model of the first part of the attachment needs to be established, and various digital models of the first part of the attachment are connected in series to establish a database. Figure 8 As shown, the database contains a structure drawing (stp) file of the digital model 300 of the first part of the attachment.

[0066] In addition, if Figure 8As shown, the digital model of the first part of the attachment (the cathode part of the precision body) mainly includes two parts, one part is the digital model part 310 of the attachment body used to connect with the crown bridge, and the local drag digital model part 320 connected to the digital model part of the attachment body, the local drag digital model part is used to match with the second part of the attachment to form a locking lock type structure, and the locking lock type structure is detachable. The local drag digital model part has a connecting structure, specifically a ring-shaped structure designed in the middle of the local drag digital model part, which just forms a fixed pattern with the second part of the attachment (metal anode) connected to the steel support local support, and is detachably connected to the local drag through the second part of the attachment; after the female (first part of the attachment) and the male structure (second part of the attachment) of the precision attachment are combined, the axial buccal and lingual directions of the precision attachment are fixed by the positioning pin to form a retention force, so that the crown bridge and the denture are connected through the precision attachment.

[0067] Step S220, classify according to condition parameters, establish an attachment database and form a dme file, the condition parameters include: the length, width, height dimensions of the digital model of the first part of the attachment and the connection structure shape of the local drag digital model part.

[0068] like Figure 8As shown, in the specific process, the digital model of the first part of the attachment is classified according to different parameter conditions, so that the digital model of the first part of the attachment in the database is classified according to different parameters, so that the subsequent call of the digital model of the first part of the attachment can be facilitated. For example, by inputting different heights (the height of the digital model part of the attachment body of the digital model of the first part of the attachment), it is matched and connected with the first part of the attachment, thereby laying the foundation for the connection and strength with the second part. According to the principle of mechanics, the height of the rectangular cross-section beam of the precision attachment (the overall height of the digital model part of the attachment body + the local digital model part) is doubled, and the bearing capacity of the beam is increased by 4 times, and the width (the width of the digital model part of the attachment body) is doubled, and the bearing capacity is increased by 2 times. Therefore, the contact area height of the precision attachment crown bridge can be set to 7.59mm, the width is set to 3.26mm, and the length (the length of the digital model part of the attachment body + the length of the local digital model part) is set to 8.19mm, so that a unified standard can be used for design to ensure the stability of the precision attachment. This type of design is suitable for a single-ended free local support digital model. The length of the precision attachment is to connect the second part of the local support digital model with the locked anode part to eliminate the lever force transmitted by the balanced bite force. In order to offset the bite force, the strength of the precision attachment body and the local support conforms to the mechanical principles and the physical properties of the material, which determine the numerical size of the precision body structure. Therefore, in this solution, the conditional parameters for screening the database can be designed to include: the length, width, and height of the digital model of the first part of the attachment and the connection structure shape of the local support model. Therefore, based on these parameters, the digital model of the first part of the attachment that matches the patient's mouth or the designed crown bridge can be directly selected from the database.

[0069] Step S230: Load the attachment database in the design background.

[0070] In a specific process, the attachment database is loaded on the control panel of the design software, so that the database is loaded into the design software, thereby directly forming a virtual three-dimensional data module through relevant calls on the control panel.

[0071] Step S230 specifically includes the following steps:

[0072] Step S231, setting the database ID path, wherein the database ID path includes: attachment visual model path, attachment adding model path, and attachment reducing model path.

[0073] Set the database ID path: accessory visual model path, accessory addition model path, (MK1 precision body is the addition function) accessory reduction model path (retention hole opening function is reduction).

[0074] Step S232: setting the retrieved direction of the digital model of the first part of the attachment in the attachment database as a default orientation, wherein the default orientation is consistent with the common seating direction of the crown and bridge.

[0075] In the specific process, you can directly set the default orientation. The default orientation is the direction in which the crown and bridge are set to the digital model of the patient's oral cavity (the direction of the common seating path). When designing the crown (crown and bridge), the restoration is built according to the manufacturing method of the sleeve crown, so that the grinding surface of the common seating path can be formed.

[0076] Step S233, setting relevant coordinate selection according to the dimension of the digital model of the first part of the attachment, realizing the degree of freedom selection and rotation around the axis.

[0077] The rotation around the axis includes: scaling along the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis, with a maximum inclination of 40 degrees and a maximum conversion distance of 5 degrees from the surface. It realizes automatic capture and alignment according to the common positioning direction of the grinding surface of the sleeve crown during design, and the arch arc placement can be fine-tuned according to the free direction. It greatly improves the precision grinding degree of precision attachments and executes the design, without the need for manual visual observation and alignment, reducing the accuracy factors caused by human factors.

[0078] Step S240: testing the first part digital models of each attachment in the attachment database according to the input design case, and confirming the standard parameters of the first part digital models of each type of attachment.

[0079] In the specific process, through a large amount of data testing on the design cases and the feasibility of clinical data acceptance, the precision assembly design parameters that are suitable for matching and connecting with the stent are selected, and the unique standard parameters of various types of precision attachments are confirmed. In this way, a standardized model can be formed for each type of precision attachment, and a set of conditional parameters can be directly input when calling, so that a standardized digital model of the first part of the attachment that is close to (or the same as) the set of conditional parameters can be matched. This makes the database more standardized and efficient during use.

[0080] Step S250: loading a database option on the visual interface of the design software, wherein the database option is used to call the digital model of the first part of the attachment in the attachment database.

[0081] By selecting conditional parameters in the database options in the visual interface, the digital model of the first part of the matching attachment can be directly called out, greatly improving the design efficiency.

[0082] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, in step S300, the digital model of the first part of the attachment is fixedly connected to the digital model of the crown and bridge, and the digital model of the attached crown and bridge is obtained.

[0083] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, in the visual interface of the software, the attachment body digital model part 310 of the first part digital model 300 of the attachment can be directly pressed against and fixed to one side of the crown and bridge digital model 200 (tooth crown), so that the two models are merged into an attachment crown and bridge digital model.

[0084] Step S300 specifically includes the following steps:

[0085] Step S310: Automatically capture and align the digital model of the first part of the attachment according to the common positioning direction of the grinding surface of the digital model of the crown and bridge executed during the design.

[0086] Step S320: adjusting the placement of the dental arch curvature of the digital model of the first part of the attachment according to the free direction.

[0087] Step S330: The adjusted digital model of the first part of the attachment is integrated with the digital model of the crown and bridge to obtain a digital model of the attached crown and bridge.

[0088] Since the attachment database is created in advance, when designing the digital model of the first part of the attachment, it can be directly called according to the actual situation of the patient's oral cavity (or the patient's oral 3D data), which greatly speeds up the design efficiency. In addition, the design standardization of the digital model of the first part of the attachment is realized. Through direct calling, the design is simpler and more convenient, which greatly reduces the design difficulty. It greatly improves the efficiency of the tooth restoration process.

[0089] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in step S400, the attached dental crown bridge digital model is processed by 3D printing to form an attached dental crown bridge object, wherein the attached dental crown bridge object is an integrated structure of the dental crown bridge and the first part of the attachment.

[0090] In the specific process, the attached crown bridge is formed into a physical object according to the printing and processing of the digital model of the fine attached crown bridge, that is, the attached crown bridge digital model is formed into an attached crown bridge digital model through 3D printing. The crown bridge in the physical object is directly fixed in the patient's mouth and cannot be moved. The denture (denture bracket) with the second part of the attachment can be detachably connected through the first part of the attachment, so that the fixed connection between the denture and the crown (crown bridge) can be directly achieved.

[0091] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, step S500, selecting the physical object of the second part of the attachment, so that the physical object of the attached crown bridge is matched with the physical object of the second part of the attachment, wherein the physical object of the second part of the attachment is a standard part.

[0092] The precision attachment in this embodiment is applicable to various types of edentulous conditions as follows:

[0093] When designing the restoration of Kennedy Class I and II dentition defects, since there is no abutment tooth in the distal part, the denture will tilt and swing when it is subjected to occlusal force, which will have an adverse effect on the long-term effect of the denture. If an attachment denture is selected, the appropriate attachment can be selected as a retainer according to the tooth body of the adjacent teeth, periodontal conditions, the number of edentulous areas and the conditions of soft and hard tissues to provide retention and disperse the occlusal force. The artificial teeth can be reduced in diameter, reduced in number, and the number of abutment teeth can be increased. Rigid or elastic attachments can be selected according to periodontal conditions to protect the oral soft and hard tissues and achieve better long-term effects.

[0094] When designing the restoration of Kennedy Class III and IV dentition defects, removable dentures, fixed dentures, implant dentures, or attachment dentures can be selected based on the number of missing teeth, the conditions of the alveolar ridges in the edentulous area, and the conditions of the periodontal tissues of the abutment teeth. When the abutment teeth lack a common path of insertion and a fixed denture is required, the common path of insertion can be obtained through attachment design. During chewing, the occlusal force is transmitted to the abutment teeth through the bridge, and the support form of the denture is consistent with that of the fixed denture.

[0095] When repairing edentulous teeth, attachments can be selected as the retainers of the dentures after implant placement. Clinically, high and wide alveolar ridges have good retention, stability and support for dentures. However, when the alveolar ridge is narrow and low, the retention and stability of the dentures are poor, and the function after repair is poor. If attachments for implant retention are added, the retention of the dentures will be significantly improved.

[0096] In this embodiment, the crown bridge and the first part of the attachment are integrally formed, which has the following effects:

[0097] 1. The first part of the attachment and the second part of the attachment are connected by a snap-lock type rigid and precise fixed connection, which connects the later welding of the port of the local steel support + the series connection of the key lock type mechanical principle to form a fixed + movable combined device. The design of this device can retain the patient's original denture without damaging the abutment teeth. The design product of this device has a wider application, higher suitability, and is a more affordable choice.

[0098] 2. Good retention and stability. If the clasp retainer connection method is adopted, the clasp retainer uses the clasp arm to enter the concave area of ​​the abutment tooth, and the friction between the clasp and the natural tooth is generated during the removal and wearing to provide the retention of the denture. As the number of times the denture is repeatedly removed and worn increases, the metal clasp will become fatigued, and the retention force of the clasp will be significantly reduced. However, the attachment denture is realized by connecting the denture with this precision attachment, and the retention force is generated by combining the female structure (the first part of the attachment) and the male structure (the second part of the attachment) of the attachment. The retention force will not decrease significantly with the increase in the number of removal and wearing. After the denture is worn for a long time, the retention force of the denture decreases due to the wear of the female and male parts. The retention force of the denture can also be restored by replacing or adjusting the attachment, and it can be reused. When the attachment is used, in addition to having a good retention effect after the restoration is in place, its stability effect is also very good. For example, in the repair of bilateral free loss, the stability of the attachment denture is significantly better than that of the clasp-retained denture. When elastic attachment is used, due to the effect of the attachment, when the free end of the denture is forced to sink, the abutment tooth is not subjected to obvious torque, and the denture can still achieve a good stability effect.

[0099] 3. It is conducive to the preservation of abutment teeth. Attachment dentures can reduce the torque on the abutment teeth through the joint support of double abutment teeth or multiple abutment teeth, so that the occlusal force is transmitted along the long axis of the tooth as much as possible, preventing trauma to the periodontal tissue of the abutment teeth. In addition to double abutment teeth and multiple abutment teeth, the design of the root surface attachment will not generate torque on the abutment teeth, and the occlusal force can be transmitted along the long axis. When the denture is under force, the abutment teeth can be physiologically stimulated without causing trauma to the periodontal tissue, so the abutment teeth can be effectively preserved.

[0100] 4. High chewing efficiency. Domestic and foreign scholars have conducted experimental research on the chewing efficiency of attachment dentures after restoration of dentition defects, and confirmed that compared with clasp-retained dentures, attachment dentures can improve patients' chewing efficiency. The restoration has good support, stability and retention effects, which can restore the patient's chewing efficiency to a state close to that of natural teeth.

[0101] 5. Good aesthetic effect. The attachment is usually placed on the mesial, distal or root surface of the abutment tooth. From the appearance, there is no metal exposure and it does not affect the aesthetics of the denture. If the natural tooth has a change in shape or color, the tooth can be restored with a porcelain crown to achieve a beautiful effect.

[0102] 6. High production precision is required, and the cathode and anode must be matched with high precision.
