Continuous Production Crown Core/Crown Making Process

US Patent:
7445449, Nov 4, 2008
Filed:
Dec 28, 2004
Appl. No.:
11/023950
Inventors:
Robert David Sager - Manhattan KS, US
International Classification:
A61C 8/00
US Classification:
433223, 298961, 72338
Abstract:
A system for continuous production of prosthodontic pieces such as crown cores, crowns or the like is provided. The system utilizes turning and milling on a live center CNC machine of a rod stock of material for making the pieces such as Bio-HIP Y-TZP (High Heat and Isostatic Pressure formed ytrium stabilized zirconium dioxide) that is automatically feed into the machine. Multiple pieces are cut one after another from the continuous rod stock. The machine includes a an engraving unit that marks pieces after they are cut with an identification mark such as a certification mark and/or an identification code. In one embodiment, multiple machines are utilized in which each machine is fed a rod stock of a different shape and/or size. A central control unit obtains Cad/Cam specifications for a piece that is to be cut and selects the machine on which the piece is to be made by determining the rod stock that will require the least amount of cutting.

Payment Convergence System And Method

US Patent:
7039593, May 2, 2006
Filed:
Aug 13, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/217903
Inventors:
Robert David Sager - Manhattan KS, US
International Classification:
G06F 17/60
US Classification:
705 4, 705 17
Abstract:
A method and system is provided for convergence of multiple independent applications into a single payment vehicle. In the context of a medical procedure, the invention provides for the convergence of medical/dental insurance with at least one secondary payment source to effect payment for the entire procedure. Through the instant invention insurance benefit information can be determined and funds blocked, then secondary payment source(s) can be utilized to effect payment of the insurance co-payment amount. The use of Smart Card technology enables the convergence at the point of sale of information about multiple applications/payment sources (i. e. insurance plan and secondary payment plan) that are processed to determine the amount of payment to be received from each source.

High Strength Substructure Reinforcement For Crowns And Bridges

US Patent:
7690920, Apr 6, 2010
Filed:
Apr 15, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/107519
Inventors:
Peter R. Hunt - Manhattan KS, US
Robert D. Sager - Manhattan KS, US
International Classification:
A61C 5/08
US Classification:
433218, 433223
Abstract:
A reinforcement for a dental restoration substructure is provided. The reinforcement is a generally annular structure that protrudes from the body of the substructure generally near an occlusal portion of the restoration. The annular structure provides a support for veneering porcelain at the location of the greatest thickness of the porcelain and at the location where occlusal stress is applied, and fractures of veneering porcelain are commonly experienced.

Process For Manufacturing Custom Crown Copings And Infrastructures

US Patent:
7967606, Jun 28, 2011
Filed:
Sep 17, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/212256
Inventors:
Robert David Sager - Manhattan KS, US
International Classification:
A61C 5/10
US Classification:
433173, 433223
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing custom crown coping and infrastructures is provided. A metal portion (base) of an abutment is located in a model of a patient's mouth and the model is scanned. The data from the scan is then utilized to manufacture the ceramic portion of the abutment and the coping. In one embodiment, the coping and infrastructure is designed by first determining the shape and orientation of the final crown, subtracting a thickness for the crown from the shape to determine the shape and orientation of a coping, and subtracting a thickness for the coping to form the shape and orientation of an abutment.

System And Method For Mass Custom Manufacturing Of Dental Crowns And Crown Components

US Patent:
2009031, Dec 24, 2009
Filed:
Dec 30, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/346341
Inventors:
Robert D. Sager - Manhattan KS, US
International Classification:
G06F 17/50, G06F 15/18
US Classification:
700 98, 706 14, 700118
Abstract:
A Mass Custom Manufacturing System and methods are provided. A single master file is created for a restoration (or multiple restorations for a single patient) from a scan. Copings/cores, abutments and other companion pieces are designed using the master file through a deconstruction method allowing for simultaneous CAM of those pieces. A centralized system controls design and manufacturing, allowing the system to “learn” from feedback from the CAM operations of prior pieces and incorporate such feedback into the design phase.
