Method for designing an abutment
A method for designing an abutment tooth which mainly comprises the steps of: setting a reference abutment device with a feature on an analog of a mouth model; positioning a digital abutment with the same configuration as the reference abutment device on the analog to obtain the configuration data of the positioning of the digital abutment on the analog; optimally adjusting the digital abutment by using as a reference the configuration digital data without affecting the configuration of the digital abutment and the analog, thus finishing the design of the abutment.
1. A method for designing an abutment tooth comprising the steps of:
acquiring an oral cavity model: reproducing an internal shape of a patient's oral cavity to form an oral cavity model, the oral cavity model has a copy artificial tooth analog at a dental implant position thereof, the copy tooth analog includes an interface;
setting a reference fixture: fetching a reference fixture, the reference fixture includes an interface and includes at least one feature point which is a concave configuration on an outer surface thereof, the interface of the reference fixture is positioned on the interface of the copy tooth analog without shielding the feature point of the reference fixture;
scanning: scanning the oral cavity model to obtain a digital oral cavity model, a digital reference fixture and a digital feature point;
positioning: taking a digital positioning fixture, a positioning member combined with the positioning fixture and a digital abutment tooth from a database, wherein the digital positioning fixture includes at least one feature point according to which the digital positioning fixture is superposed on the digital reference fixture and substitutes the digital reference fixture, so as to obtain configuration digital data after mutual positioning of the interfaces of the positioning member of the digital positioning fixture and the copy tooth analog, the digital abutment tooth is superposed on the digital reference fixture;
adjusting: optimally adjusting the digital abutment tooth by obtaining configuration data of the digital positioning fixture and the copy tooth analog, thus finishing the design of the abutment tooth.
2. The method for designing an abutment tooth as claimed in claim 1 , wherein if the dental implant position of the oral cavity model is at a posterior tooth in the step of acquiring the oral cavity model, the reference fixture is set at the posterior tooth of the oral cavity model with the feature point thereof facing a buccal surface.
3. The method for designing an abutment tooth as claimed in claim 1 , wherein if the dental implant position of the oral cavity model is at an anterior tooth in the step of acquiring the oral cavity model, the reference fixture is set at the anterior tooth of the oral cavity model with the feature point thereof facing a labial surface.
4. The method for designing an abutment tooth as claimed in claim 1 , the digital abutment tooth is superposed on the digital reference fixture together with the digital positioning fixture in the step of positioning.
