Bendable prosthesis post and angular adjustment method

Abstract

The present invention relates to a bendable prosthesis post and to the corresponding angular adjustment method, pertaining to the field of implant dentistry, the method being in particular characterised by a customised bending method that helps the dental surgeon and7or dental prosthesis technologist to orient the exposed part of the post with an inclination angle that makes it easier to mount the future prosthetic crown. In a particular embodiment, a finished prosthesis post model comprises a first guiding and anchoring segment (1) followed by a zone (2) for connection to an implant, comprising a sacrificial and anchoring zone (3) followed by a restriction (4) in the lower third to achieve angular adaptation; and adjoining the latter a mounting and fastening portion (5) for a prosthesis (not depicted). In a particular embodiment, bending is carried out according to a method of angular adjustment of a finished prosthesis post model, using a bending device (D), a reference post (R) made of easily bendable plastics and having a geometrical shape similar to that of a finished prosthesis post; a protective cover (31 or 32) to be coupled to the mounting and fastening portion (5) of a finished post for the prosthesis (not depicted).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a bendable prosthetic abutment and to a corresponding method of angular adjustment, which is characterized in particular in that a custom-made mechanical shaping process assists the dentist and / or prosthetic technician to achieve a The dimensional and mechanical properties of the curved prosthetic abutment are subject to functional and aesthetic criteria to make it easier to install the inclination of the future prosthetic crown, to orient the exposed part of the abutment, the invention belongs to the field of dental implantology. . Background technique [0002] There are now different ways to replace missing teeth, including prosthetic or prosthetic solutions, depending on the possibilities of each case. Natural teeth can be restored with fully or partially removable prostheses or single or multiple fixed prostheses over natural teeth or implants. A dental implant is a device that simulates the root of a tooth, and i...

Problems solved by technology

[0019] Disadvantageously, this patent document proposes a central narrow portion that is necked down to provide a flexible zone close to the gum tissue, as figure 1 As shown, reference numeral 26, includes two portions at an angle converging on a straight portion, which may cause cracks in the converging region between the compressed angled portion and the straight portion

These cracks can lead to fatigue cracking in the case of several load cycles

[0020] Moreover, these two alternatives for disclosing a prosthetic abutment provided with a zone for angular orientation do not define a custom bending method for the prosthetic abutment, thereby not helping the dentist and / or the prosthetic technician to determine the inclination for each patient individually and precisely
