Abstract:
There are currently milling machines in dental laboratories that take blank blocks of ceramic and mill them into replacement teeth based upon CAD specifications. However, no option currently exists to make the replacement teeth out of anything but ceramic. Thus, I have invented a molded form to make composite blank blocks which are less expensive than ceramic blocks and thus offer an option for the patient.
