DENTAL SCANNING METHOD USING A LCD PROJECTOR, A CCD VIDEO CAMERA AND MIRRORS

摘要

Implantology allows to return a correct masticatory cycle in case of very damaged, if not absent dentures. At the actual technological level, this requires high preparation times, between initial dental embossing determination and prosthesis implant, with an entire series of intermediate steps, each of which requires days and sometimes months. This often causes a possible decay of the implant, that is not loaded for long periods. Purpose of the present invention, a new technology allowing to shorten such times, bringing potentially to a single day the time to realize a dental prosthesis, from embossing detection to implant and prosthesization. The substantial innovation consists in a new method for direct scanning of the denture shape, that allows, using a combination of instruments already available on the market and new software, to immediately realize prosthesis defined with this methodology usin numerical control milling machines.
