3 results about "GINGIVAL ATROPHY" patented technology

A method comprising receiving intraoral scan data having data for multiple teeth and gingival surfaces surrounding the teeth; creating a three dimensional (3D) model based on the intraoral scan data; determining an interface between each tooth and the gingiva and surface shape of the gingiva between adjacent teeth based on the based on the intraoral scan data; receiving camera image data having data for the multiple teeth and gingival surfaces included in the intraoral scan data; confirming or adjusting the locations of the interface and the surface shape of the gingiva based on the camera image data to create an updated 3D model; and determining a finishing cut line based on the 3D model and whether the scan data or image data indicate gingival recession.

An apparatus and method are used to deliver an electrical current to, through or across gingival tissues of a mouth in order to achieve a number of therapeutic, prophylactic, cosmetic, and or regenerative benefits. These benefits include killing or modifying oral microbes, increasing oral vasodilation, reducing oral biofilm, improving oral blood circulation, reversing oral bone resorption, promoting oral osteogenesis, treating gum recession, and fostering gingival regeneration. Other benefits include the treatment of gingivitis, periodontitis, and oral malodor, and other systemic diseases correlated with oral pathogens. Use of systems and methods according to the present invention may effectively tighten epithelial contact with one or more teeth (e.g., by the junctional epithelium and / or the sulcular epithelium) and / or cause a tightening of the oral epithelium, thereby improving an appearance of a human smile.
