METHOD FOR PRODUCING DENTAL ADAPTIVE ELEMENT FOR ALLEVIATING RECESSION OF GINGIVA

摘要

A method for producing a dental adaptive element for alleviating recession of gingiva around an alveolar socket of a patient includes: obtaining images of a tooth; creating a 3D model having a crown part and a root part based on the images; obtaining a boundary curve on the 3D model between the crown part and the root part; on the root part of the 3D virtual model, obtaining an imaginary surface that protrudes in a direction from the crown part toward the root part; extracting a sub-model from the 3D model by removing a portion of the root part that extends between the imaginary surface and an end of the root part; and producing a dental adaptive element according to the sub-model.
