61 Method for Producing Dentures and Articulator for Carrying Out the Method US14398486 2013-04-29 US20150111168A1 2015-04-23 Andreas Vogel
For producing dentures, a new method and a device render it possible to evaluate and shape movements generated by the individual jaw joints of the patient such that work with appropriate articulators becomes possible, which employ the individual jaw joints as articulation joints and thus carry out the identical movements. The known articulators are equipped with joint-space duplicates such that they can be employed with optimal equipment for the respective patient. The support pin is moved back as fixing pin in the retral space of the articulator such that it does not constitute an impediment when working on and when inspecting the jaw models arranged on the frame upper part and the frame base part. Moreover, setting different biting positions is made significantly easier, because the frame upper part is fixed to a swivel arch of the frame base part by an adjustable position stabilizer but can also be detached.
62 METHOD FOR POSITIONING ORTHODONTIC BRACES US14267411 2014-05-01 US20140329195A1 2014-11-06 Cheng-Ho HUANG
A method for positioning orthodontic braces includes scanning a patient's teeth by a computer in which installation locations of orthodontic braces for the teeth to be cured are arranged; carving out by a carving machine a denture mold and positioning members at the installation locations of the orthodontic braces on the denture mold to attach monomer substrata bound with the orthodontic braces or the orthodontic braces connected serially by connection members onto the denture mold one by one; connecting the monomer substrata together by light curing resin; attaching the serially connected monomer substrata and orthodontic braces directly onto the patient's teeth, and removing flexible members binding the monomer substrata and monomer substrata or the connection members connecting the orthodontic braces serially to secure the orthodontic braces on the surfaces of teeth, which installs the orthodontic braces more conveniently and efficiently.

75 DENTAL ARTICULATORS US12299444 2007-05-03 US20090186315A1 2009-07-23 Alan Julian Segal
A dental articulator has upper and lower cast models of a patient's upper and lower teeth in shells (13a, 13b) linked by an articulation joint (14). The models are formed in the shells (13a, 13b) by locating a bite tray (1, 25) having impressions on opposite sides between the shells (13a, 13b) in fixed positional relationship thereto. The lowermost shell (13a) is filled with casting material in contact with the lowermost impression and this is allowed to set to form one model. The bite tray (1, 25) and shells (13a, 13b) are then turned over to enable the other model to be formed in the other shell (13b). The bite tray (1, 25) has a projecting handle (6, 28) which is clamped with a clamping device (19) which can be detachably mounted on a base (10) both ways up. The shells (13a, 13b) can also be detachably mounted on the base (10) both ways up. Locating devices (11, 12) are provided so that the clamping devices (19) and the shells (13a, 13b) retain their positional interrelationship both ways up.
76 System and method to provide occlusal alignment in restorations US12151862 2008-05-09 US20080280257A1 2008-11-13 Kenneth Guthrie
The generation of restorations is easily and effectively achieved by utilizing specific functional considerations that account for typical movement of a patient's mouth. With these movements in mind, the initial starting point for restoration design is the identification of functional occlusal cusps (FOCs) and centric landing pads (CLPs). Based upon the identification and anticipation of these structures, restoration can be designed which will be effectively avoid any interference or undesired interaction between teeth (either existing or restoration). The process of restoration design further considers and designs escape routes for use in configuring the restoration. These escape routes identify those areas anticipated to be occupied by cusps or other components of existing teeth, during natural functional or movement. Consequently, the identification of escape routes helps to place grooves or tracks within the restoration, thus naturally providing clearance. Based upon the consideration of these elements, the resulting restoration is efficient and effective without requiring considerable adjustment by the dentist at the time of fitting.
