The present invention is dental prosthetics manufactured from polymers
rather than ceramics. Various plastics are disclosed for use in making
said prosthetics, as are techniques for improving plastic performance in
the prosthetics. The prosthetics are first injection molded into pre-set
blocks for use in milling machines that dentists use or custom fit
prosthetics with less wait time and less cost. Alternatively, an
electronic model may be produced using image scanners. The electronic
model may then be downloaded into rapid prototyping machine and a
prosthetic therein built. Use of these methods may create various
monolithic prosthetics, including multi-tooth prosthetics and whole
bridges.
