METHOD OF FABRICATING NEW DENTAL PROSTHETICS USING A PATIENT'S EXISTING DENTAL PROSTHETICS

摘要

In summary, the invention is directed to a method of making a new dental prosthesis (210) from an existing dental prosthesis (10), including the steps of making a sacrificial positive (130) or pattern of the existing dental prosthesis, and using the sacrificial pattern (130) of the existing dental prosthesis to form a new dental prosthesis (210). The inventive method likewise includes making a sacrificial pattern of at least a part of an existing denture. The invention further includes the construction of new dentures from a patient's worn dentures, by providing copy or modified copy of the worn dentures into which one can set and arrange the denture teeth. The invention still further includes a dental prosthetic, such as a denture, made by such methods.
