METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MACHINING PROSTHETIC APPLIANCE AND PROSTHETIC BLOCK

摘要

A device which measures the shape of a copying object and cuts a block into a copy based on the measured data, wherein a machining time is reduced with a machining tool used for cutting effectively used and its wear reduced; and a machining method comprising profile-machining a work piece, including a cuttable support, into a target shape or an approximate shape using a side face of the machining tool. A prosthetic appliance prepared by measuring the shape of a portion to be artificially replaced based on the surface shape of a mold or an impression from an oral cavity or a model.
