  • Method for producing a dental first attachment part for an implant or a second attachment part, and a holder for a model of the first attachment part
    Patent number: 6640150
    Abstract: An attachment part for an implant or second attachment part can be produced at a production station. The external shape of the attachment part is scanned at a scanning station at which a wax model is used. The scanned information is digitized and transmitted to the production station. An insert which has the surface configuration of the implant or of the second attachment part is selected from among a number of units having different possible surface configurations. The unit is applied in or on a holder which is centered on a turntable. The holder is provided with or operates with or operates with orientation information for the holder relative to the table. The model which is designed as a wax model is applied on the holder over the unit. The turntable is rotated and the external shape of the wax model is scanned.
