Abstract

L'invention concerne l'utilisation d'une radiologie, par exemple, un balayage par tomodensitométrie à faisceau conique pour imager un tissu mou entourant une dentition existante et d'autres structures dentaires (par exemple, une préparation dentaire) qui aidera à la fabrication d'une prothèse dentaire temporaire ou permanente à placer. Ceci comprend également le balayage de la relation occlusale des dents ou d'une prothèse dans le maxillaire et la mandibule pour établir la morsure correcte pour la fabrication adaptée de la prothèse dentaire finale. Un milieu de séparation peut être placé dans la cavité buccale pour séparer les tissus mous environnants, par exemple la muqueuse buccale, la langue, du tissu gingival entourant la dentition et d'autres structures dentaires. Un milieu de contraste d'amélioration pourrait être incorporé dans le milieu de séparation et/ou appliqué au tissu gingival et aux surfaces occlusales de dents et d'autres structures dentaires pour permettre une capture plus facile et plus précise de ces structures à l'aide d'une tomodensitométrie ou d'un autre balayage.
