APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A DENTAL PROSTHETIC WITH A DEVICE HAVING A LINEAR ROTARY BEARING

摘要

The present invention is directed to enhancing the accuracy with which tooth restorations are machined, using a device which can accurately copy mill a dental prosthetic blank from a previously formed dental prosthetic model, and which can closely replicate the feel of a dental tool to which dentists are accustomed. The device uses a tool supported on a linear rotary axis to mill the dental prosthetic blank. In addition, exemplary embodiments are directed to the preparation of a hybrid dental prosthetic blank which can be easily machined.
