IMPRESSION TRAY, AND METHOD FOR CAPTURING STRUCTURES, ARRANGEMENTS OR SHAPES, IN PARTICULAR IN THE MOUTH OR HUMAN BODY
First Claim
1. An impression tray, such as in particular a dental impression tray, which carries a deformable impression compound in order to prepare an impression of arrangements, shapes and/or dimensions, in particular in or on a human body, preferably in a mouth, and further preferred an impression of at least part of a tooth or of dental structures, further comprising sensor devices by means of which a change of at least one physical property and/or variable of said impression compound can be captured in a spatially resolved manner when preparing an impression and can be provided in a form that is suitable for electronic data processing.

Abstract
The invention relates to an impression tray, such as in particular a dental impression tray, which carries a deformable impression mass in order to prepare an impression of arrangements, shapes and/or dimensions, in particular in or on the human body, preferably in the mouth, and further preferred an impression of at least part of a tooth or of dental structures, wherein furthermore sensor devices are present, by means of which a change of at least one physical property and/or variable of the impression mass can be captured in a spatially resolved manner when preparing an impression and can be provided in a form that is suited for electronic data processing. The invention further relates to a method for capturing structures, arrangements or shapes, such as preferably for capturing dental structures, arrangements or shapes in the mouth or in the human body, whereby a deformable impression compound is brought onto or into the structures, arrangements or shapes in particular, is introduced, into the mouth or body and a change of at least one physical property and/or variable of the impression compound is transmitted there in a spatially resolved manner directly to sensor devices when preparing an impression and is captured by the sensor devices and, furthermore, provided in a form that is suitable for electronic data processing.

50. A device for capturing a three-dimensional structure of the human or animal body, in particular a tooth or set of teeth, which comprises the following:
-
a carrier for an impression compound, an impression compound arranged on said carrier, at least one lighting unit, which is designed for radiating light into said impression compound, and at least one sensor unit, which is designed for detecting light emerging from said impression compound and generating spatially resolved raw data therefrom. - View Dependent Claims (57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65)
