INTERACTIVE DENTAL RESTORATIVE NETWORK

摘要

An interactive dental restoration method, a system for use between a dentist, and a dental restoration laboratory. The method includes identifying a dental restoration need in a patient; designing a preliminary treatment plan that includes design criteria for preparation of a dental prosthesis to be placed in the patient to satisfy the dental restoration need; transmitting the preliminary treatment plan via a communications network to a dental restoration laboratory; and communicating a final treatment plan, including modifications to the preliminary treatment plan where necessary, to the dentist. The system includes a computer-based dental restoration system of a network server (1610) having a database (1630), a network (1620), and at least one local computer (14). The database stores information about materials, procedures, and preparations concerning dental prostheses.
