Summary of the Inventive Concept

An improved method and system for producing plate dentures using stereolithography 3D printing, enhancing durability, fitting accuracy, and hygiene.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent method of producing plate dentures using stereolithography 3D printing has limitations, including reduced durability, fitting accuracy, and potential hygiene issues. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by introducing improved curable compositions, novel photopolymerization initiators, advanced temperature control systems, and custom artificial tooth designs.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The enhanced method of producing plate dentures involves using a curable composition with improved thermal stability, a novel photopolymerization initiator, and an advanced temperature control system in the 3D printer. The custom artificial tooth is designed with an optimized edge structure for snap fit, ensuring improved fitting accuracy and stability. Additionally, the plate denture production kit includes a curable composition with a built-in antimicrobial agent and a 3D printer with a sterilization module, enhancing hygiene and safety.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new inventive concept introduces a series of innovative solutions, including improved curable compositions, novel photopolymerization initiators, advanced temperature control systems, and custom artificial tooth designs, which collectively provide enhanced durability, fitting accuracy, and hygiene compared to the original patent.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept may include using different types of 3D printing technologies, varying the composition of the curable material, or incorporating additional features such as sensors or monitoring systems to enhance the production process.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The enhanced plate denture production method and system have significant commercial potential in the dental industry, offering improved patient outcomes, increased efficiency, and reduced costs. The target market includes dental clinics, hospitals, and research institutions.
