20160030294 | DENTAL CONDITIONING COMPOSITION | 02-04-2016 |
20140295376 | DENTAL MATERIAL SET AND A DENTAL MEMBRANE FOR OBSCURING A METAL COLOR OF A DENTAL METAL, AND A PREPARING METHOD THEREOF - Provided are opaque materials exhibiting a good adhesive strength and a good color tone reproduction comparable with natural dental crowns as well as having a good operability. In addition, the opaque materials may exhibit a stain-resistance property in rebuilding-up a dental composition on the opaque materials in a cured form with a metal instrument. Further, the opaque materials may exhibit a good color tone reproduction comparable with natural dental crowns even if a dental membrane is thinly formed from the opaque metals. The dental membrane is formed from a first opaque layer and a second opaque layer, wherein the first opaque layer contains a filler of indefinite-shape particles and the second opaque layer contains a filler of spherical-shape particles, and wherein the first opaque layer is formed on a metal base and the second opaque layer is formed on the first opaque layer. | 10-02-2014 |
20140242549 | SHELL PLATE FOR ARTIFICIAL TEETH WITH ARRANGEMENT ASSISTING FUNCTION - An artificial teeth packaging container includes an artificial teeth accommodating portion for fixing a plurality of continuously arranged artificial teeth detachably, and holding an arrangement position relation with an adjacent artificial teeth and an arrangement position relation with an upper or lower artificial molar teeth, in which the artificial teeth accommodating portion covers the plurality of artificial teeth from an occlusal plane in a state exposed around a cervical portion. | 08-28-2014 |
20140072933 | ARTIFICIAL TEETH - The invention enables artificial molar teeth to be arranged at appropriate positions according to the oral cavity environment of each patient without requiring advanced techniques or experience. The artificial molar teeth have maxillary molar teeth and mandibular molar teeth arranged so as to form a pair on denture bases to be mounted on upper and lower jaws in an oral cavity, in which one cusp out of the cusps of the maxillary molar teeth and the mandibular molar teeth is engaged with a fossa of the antagonist, and at least one of the other cusps is engaged with a groove of the antagonist. | 03-13-2014 |
20140030685 | TOOTH FOR DENTAL ARCH MODEL AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME - The present invention relates to a tooth which is used in a dental arch model with which dental students can experience dental works in the oral cavity and practice treatments. More specifically, the present invention relates to a tooth composition for formation trainings such as abutment tooth formation and cavity preparation. Since conventionally used dental arch models have a grinding sensation different from a natural tooth, dental students having completed formation trainings such as abutment tooth formation and cavity preparation by using these conventional models are frequently puzzled to have different grinding and handling properties upon dental works in the oral cavity in practice. That is, these conventional dental arch models are largely different from a natural tooth in grinding sensation including slipperiness and easiness in grinding. A tooth for a dental arch model simulating the enamel texture and the dentin texture constituting a natural tooth whereby even the difference in grinding sensation between the enamel texture and the dentin texture constituting a natural tooth can be reproduced by forming at least the enamel portion with the use of a sintered body of an inorganic powder such as alumina. | 01-30-2014 |
20130344460 | ARTIFICIAL TEETH, METHOD OF DETERMINING GRINDING PORTION, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING DENTURE - An artificial tooth where an occlusal surface is formed by grinding has a reference point that represents a position and an angle of the artificial tooth when an occlusal surface of the artificial tooth is obtained by an occlusal-surface form measuring apparatus. The reference point is a convexed spherical surface or a concaved spherical surface arranged on the occlusal-surface. The spherical surface is 3 or more. The convexed spherical surface is fit to the concaved spherical surface when the maxillary artificial tooth and mandibular artificial tooth are occluded. The occluding portion of the artificial tooth has a grinding portion. | 12-26-2013 |
20130323682 | ARTIFICIAL TEETH - Artificial teeth arranged in plates attachable in an oral cavity as a dental prosthetic appliance, in which arrangement direction indication parts showing a directivity of arrangement in the plates extending in an apical-cervical direction or in a mesiodistal direction are provided at a vestibular side or an oral side. The arrangement direction indication parts extending in the apical-cervical direction are positioned linearly as seen from the vestibular side in an occluded state of mandibular teeth and maxillary teeth. The arrangement direction indication parts extending in the mesiodistal direction are positioned linearly as seen from the vestibular side in the state in which the teeth are arranged in the plates. The artificial teeth are arranged at an appropriate position according to an oral environment of each patient, without requiring advanced skill and experience. | 12-05-2013 |
20130316304 | ARTIFICIAL MOLAR TEETH - Artificial teeth are arranged in plates capable of being attached in an oral cavity as a dental prosthetic appliance, in which one or more linear arrangement direction indication parts showing the arrangement direction in the plates are provided on an occlusal plane of each of the molar teeth. At least one set of arrangement direction indication parts of the adjacent molar teeth is configured so as to extend generally in parallel direction. At least one set of arrangement direction indication parts of the antagonist upper molar teeth and lower molar teeth is configured so as to extend generally in parallel direction. The artificial molar teeth are arranged at an appropriate position according to the oral cavity environment of each patient, without requiring advanced skills and experiences, and are applicable to various arrangements of artificial teeth. | 11-28-2013 |
20090317780 | Tooth for Dental Arch Model and Method for Producing the Same - The present invention relates to a tooth which is used in a dental arch model with which dental students can experience dental works in the oral cavity and practice treatments. More specifically, the present invention relates to a tooth composition for formation trainings such as abutment tooth formation and cavity preparation.

20090068614 | Dental polishing article which contains spherical resin particles - The present invention provides a dental polishing article having excellent polishability, which can polish dental composite resin, porcelain, dental restorative and prosthetic materials and teeth at a low cost, conveniently in a short time. More specifically, the present invention provides a dental polishing article which comprises a polishing portion formed by compounding polishing grains in an elastomer binder, and the polishing portion further comprising spherical resin particles. | 03-12-2009 |
20090048426 | POLYMERIZABLE PHOSPHONIC ACID DERIVATIVE AND ADHESIVE COMPOSITION COMPRISING THE SAME - The present invention provides an adhesive composition comprising a polymerizable phosphonic acid derivative which is a composition having intramolecularly a polymerizable group and a phosphonic acid group, represented by the general formula [1]: | 02-19-2009 |
20090048366 | Dental Composite Resin Cement, Dental Primer and Dental Adhesive Kit Containing Them - The present invention provides a dental resin cement which is excellent in a mechanical strength, workability and storage stability, and a dental primer which significantly improves adhesiveness of the dental resin cement both to enamel and dentin of a tooth. According to the present invention, a salt of barbituric acid is used as a polymerization initiator in the dual-cure two-paste type dental resin cement being excellent in workability and storage stability to improve the storage stability, and a primer containing barbituric acid and amine is applied to a surface of a tooth to significantly improve adhesiveness of the dental resin cement both to enamel and dentin of teeth. | 02-19-2009 |
