Impressionless dental modeling systems and methods

摘要

Dental systems and methods related to impressionless dental modeling. A dental modeling system includes a dental model base and a mounting plate. The dental model base includes a plate support surface and a plurality of pin receiving apertures formed in the support surface. The mounting plate includes a plate portion positioned on the plate support surface and a plurality of pins extending into the pin receiving apertures to provide removable attachment of the mounting plate to the dental model base. The plate portion includes a model support surface configured to support a model of a person's teeth. The model may be formed directly on the model support surface using an impressionless technique. The model may be formed separately using an impressionless technique and then bonded to the model support surface.

主权项

1. A dental modeling assembly, comprising:
a pre-formed dental model base comprising:
a support surface;a plurality of pin apertures formed in the support surface, each pin aperture being positioned at an average tooth location for a given mouth size;at least one indexing member positioned on the support surface adjacent to each pin aperture; a mounting plate comprising a plate portion and a plurality of alignment pins, the plate portion being configured to support a model of a person's teeth; an alignment jig, comprising:
a support base;a pedestal extending vertically from the support base;a support stand extending vertically from the support base;a pin locator mounted to the support stand and comprising a plurality of locator pins; wherein the dental model base is releasably mounted to the pedestal and the mounting plate is releasably mounted to the dental model base with the plurality of alignment pins extending into pin apertures of the dental model base; wherein when a model of a person's teeth is supported on the plate portion, the alignment jig is operable to position the locator pins adjacent to teeth portions of the model.
