Patent number: 9375296Abstract: A procedure for fabricating an individual abutment for a dental prosthesis for an implant anchored in an area of the jaw with an implant attachment running on the abutment side, using a working model molded by the jaw area equipped with the implant. The sulcus area of the gum uncovered above the implant and shaped by a sulcus-former extending from the implant attachment is reproduced in the working model. The abutment has a sulcus section running within the sulcus area and an adjoining head section to admit a part of a dental prosthesis. The sulcus area of the working model having an auxiliary implant attachment corresponding to the implant attachment is measured, and a sulcus section model determined with a circumferential surface and a de-facto sulcus line limiting it on the implant side.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2010Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: DEGUDENT GMBHInventors: Gerlinde Lange, Horst Bachmann, Frank Fuchs, Alexander Hilbert
