Title: Lirong Mao and Digital Denture Fabrication

Introduction

Lirong Mao is an inventor associated with Shenzhen, China, whose patent work addresses digital methods for making dentures. Her disclosed invention connects digital denture design with the practical use of prefabricated teeth.

Latest Patents

Mao is named on one patent, Method and System for Digital Fabrication of Denture. The invention describes editing the attributes of three-dimensional prefabricated-tooth models and organizing them in a template database. It then uses a patient’s oral data to design tooth arrangement and the denture base, and derives a three-dimensional model of a positioning auxiliary body from the virtual denture model. After the auxiliary body is fabricated, it helps position and arrange the corresponding physical prefabricated teeth, which are bonded to gingival base material to form the denture. The approach integrates physical prefabricated teeth into a digital workflow, addressing the challenge of using them efficiently in digital denture production. Mao’s reported patent count is 1 patent.
