El Paso, Texas Patent of the Year – 2024/2025

Trion Concepts Inc. has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for its groundbreaking advancement in dental prosthetics. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent No. 12121410, titled ‘Bone-mounted dental arch veneers and methods for fabricating and utilizing the same’, introduces a novel approach to dental restoration by securely attaching custom-designed veneers directly to the jawbone, offering a stable and aesthetically pleasing solution for patients with missing or damaged teeth.

This innovative system employs a veneer assembly comprising multiple tooth veneers supported by a structure that connects to a bone-mounted base. The design allows for precise alignment and natural appearance, effectively covering gaps or imperfections in the dental arch. The coupling mechanism ensures that the veneers can be easily attached or removed, providing flexibility for both patients and dental professionals.

One of the standout features of this technology is its adaptability. The support structure can accommodate various configurations, ranging from a single tooth to a full arch, tailored to the individual’s needs. Materials used in the veneers include resins, metals, ceramics, and polymers, selected for durability and visual appeal. The system’s design minimizes interference with surrounding oral structures, ensuring comfort and functionality.

Trion Concepts’ approach also streamlines the fabrication process. By utilizing advanced manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing and molding, dental practitioners can produce customized veneers efficiently. This method not only reduces production time but also enhances the precision and fit of the prosthetics, leading to improved patient outcomes.

With this patent, Trion Concepts, Inc. sets a new standard in dental restoration, combining technological innovation with practical application to address common challenges in prosthetic dentistry.
