摘要： A method of use of an oral appliance (OA) made as add-on optional feature in a denture of a user with or without implants to facilitate adjustable mandibular advancement assisting in partially or fully reducing snoring and thus ameliorating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Steps of the method of use include obtaining intra-oral information necessary and adequate for manufacture of a primary denture set for chewing purposes and using the same information for manufacture of a simpler, lighter secondary denture set that may be offered to a patient ordering a primary denture set, at a discounted price that may serve the purpose of cosmetic function or anti-snoring function or both.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to a dental cutting zirconia blank having high relative density for preparing a dental restoration. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a dental cutting zirconia blank which consists of a zirconia ceramics used for the cutting with the CAD/CAM system in the dental field, a semi-sinter zirconia blank (pre-sintered body) of which has high relative density, and which can provide a prosthesis device having high aesthetics after sintering. There is provided a dental cutting zirconia blank wherein the dental cutting zirconia blank has at least one layer consisting of zirconia powder containing 4 to 15 mol % of yttria or erbium oxide as a stabilizer, a relationship among pre-sintering density, final-sintering density and relative density satisfies the following relation:

54≤Relative density (%)={(Pre-sintering density)/(Perfect-sintering density)}×100≤70.

摘要： A method for making a ceramic body comprised of a ceramic material having an inhibitory effect on bacterial growth is provided. A dental prosthesis may be made of a ceramic material that comprises a molybdenum-containing component on a portion of the prosthesis that contacts the gingival surface of a patient. In one method, a porous zirconia ceramic structure is shaped in the form of a dental prosthesis, and then infiltrated with a molybdenum-containing composition, before sintering to densify the ceramic structure.

摘要： A system includes a mold of a dental arch of a patient. The mold includes teeth extending from a first distal end of the dental arch to a second distal end of the dental arch. An orthodontic aligner is to be formed over the teeth of the mold. The teeth of the mold are shaped to correspond to tooth-receiving cavities of the orthodontic aligner. The system includes a pre-fabricated attachment that includes a traceability component configured to be used to determine one or more identifiers corresponding to the mold. The pre-fabricated attachment further includes a handling component configured to be secured by a robot or person to transport the mold and the pre-fabricated attachment during production of the orthodontic aligner.

摘要： Methods and apparatuses for attaching one or more dental attachments to a dentition. Methods may include placing an attachment placement apparatus on the dentition such that contoured surfaces of the attachment placement apparatus are aligned with correspondingly shaped tooth surfaces of the dentition. A body of the attachment placement apparatus may position the dental attachment(s) against specified location(s) on one or more teeth of the dentition. The dental attachment(s) may be coupled to supports that extend from the body. The supports may include breakable regions configured to be broken to facilitate removal of a corresponding dental attachment from the body. The supports may position the dental attachment(s) within corresponding aperture(s) of the attachment placement apparatus. The dental attachment(s) may be secured at the specified location(s) on the teeth.
