Abstract:
A system and method are provided for manufacturing a physical model of a dental structure that includes a dental implant. In at least one example, the physical model is configured to allow a dental analog can be inserted into the physical model in a general coronal direction. A virtual model of the dental structure is provided including a virtual implant spatial disposition with respect to the virtual model corresponding to a physical implant spatial disposition of the dental implant with respect to the physical dental structure. A virtual analog installation structure is defined in the virtual model. Using the virtual model, a physical model corresponding to the virtual model is manufactured, the physical model being provided with a physical analog installation structure corresponding to the virtual analog installation structure. The physical analog installation structure is configured for enabling a dental analog, corresponding to the dental implant, to be inserted in a general coronal direction with respect to the physical model to an installed position in the physical model. In the installed position, the dental analog has an analog spatial disposition with respect to the physical model corresponding to the physical implant spatial disposition of the dental implant with respect to the physical dental structure. A composite physical model, and methods for manufacturing the same, are also provided.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for creating a virtual dental model of a dental structure of a patient for a restorative procedure, the method comprising:\n generating a virtual model of the dental structure of the patient, the virtual model including a portion associated with soft dental surfaces, a portion associated with hard dental surfaces, and an implant site; identifying a first portion of the virtual model corresponding to a portion of the soft dental surfaces within the implant site, the first portion having a first virtual surface corresponding to a surface of the soft dental surfaces; defining a second virtual surface displaced in a apical direction from the first virtual surface; defining a first lateral virtual surface that extends between at least the first virtual surface and the second virtual surface; modifying the virtual model to create a first virtual model part corresponding to the portion of the soft dental surfaces, the first virtual surface, the second virtual surface, and the first lateral surface; and outputting a composite model corresponding to the modified virtual model, the composite model including a first model part and a second model part, the first model part corresponding to a shape of the first virtual model part and the second model part corresponding to at least a portion of hard dental surfaces.
