  • Patent number: 10130448
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dental restoration, having a base which in particular comprises an implant (1) in combination with an abutment (4), and a supraconstruction (3) which is fixed to the base, in particular by adhesive bonding, wherein the base has a screw connection having a screw head which extends over or on the base. Said screw head connects the two parts of the base to each other so as to be fixed against rotation, and has an access channel (10, 35) for the screw, the opening of which is offset with respect to the extension of the axis of the screw in the lingual direction of the supraconstruction (3). The diameter of the access channel (10, 35) is smaller than the diameter of the screw head of the screw, and the screw can be screwed through the access channel (10, 35), i.e. can be screwed in and screwed out.

  • Patent number: 8775131
    Abstract: A method for producing a tooth replacement and corresponding computer programs and devices are described. The method can comprise generating a tooth replacement having a core and an outer layer which define a boundary surface between each other. To ensure that the prepared tooth replacement is technically acceptable independent of skills and experience of the user and approximate the appearance of a natural tooth, the extension of the boundary surface represents a natural extension of the dentino-enamel junction of a tooth for which the tooth replacement is provided, wherein the extension of the boundary surface (i) is determined based on a recording of the dentino-enamel junction of the tooth for which the tooth replacement is provided, and/or (ii) is determined based on directly or indirectly recorded geometry data of at least a portion of the outer geometry of the tooth for which the tooth replacement is provided.

  • Publication number: 20110311940
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method which makes it possible to simulate a realistic, reliable, and repeatable measurement of the mobility of a tooth and use the test results as a basis for producing and adjusting tooth prostheses. A goal is achieved by an apparatus for simulating the mobility of a tooth, comprising a bottom and a top bearing shell which are designed such that a substantially spherical zone is left open. The top bearing shell has a substantially circular cavity, through which a model of a tooth stump can be inserted. One end of the model of a tooth stump has a substantially spherical bearing zone while the other end thereof forms an elongate shank.

  • Patent number: 4577172
    Abstract: A relay formed of a coil body as a base body with a central opening passing therethrough and having an armature or contact tongue element positioned in said opening in an axial direction. One end of the tongue element is fastened and has fastening tabs at both sides of a central tongue. The fastening elements are fixed by means of a hardened glue in relatively broad grooves of a flange of the base body. During assembly, the contact tongue can be brought into a defined position by mechanical, magnetic or pneumatic means and can be fixed in this final position by means of introducing a fast-setting glue into the grooves so that subsequent adjustment is no longer necessary.
