DENTAL IMPLANT AND PROSTHETIC DEVICE PREPARATION KIT
First Claim
1. A kit to make a dental prosthetic device, comprising:
- a porous block having pores;
a thermoset polymeric resin;
an initiator for combination with the resin to form a resin mixture for being added to the porous block to infiltrate the pores therein; and
at least one substantially air tight and substantially opaque package for covering at least the resin and initiator therein.

Abstract
A preparation kit for preparing dental prosthetic devices in-house at the site of a dental procedure, without requiring an external third-party lab to prepare the final prosthetic device. The kit contains a porous block, a thermoset polymeric resin, and an initiator, where the resin and initiator are both packaged in substantially airtight and substantially opaque packaging. The resin and initiator are combined together to form a resin mixture which is then infiltrated into the pores of the porous block to form an esthetic material. A digital scan of at least a portion of a patient'"'"'s jaw is used to provide the desired shape of the dental device to a cutting mechanism, which then cuts the filled or un-filled porous block based on the shape provided to it from the digital scan.

19. A kit to make a dental prosthetic device, comprising:
-
a porous block having pores and being shaped to match at least a portion of a patient'"'"'s jaw as taken by a digital scan; and a thermoset polymeric resin combined with an initiator to form a resin mixture to infiltrate the pores of the porous block; wherein the resin mixture and the porous block are configured to be prepared and assembled into a dental device at a site of a dental procedure.
