  • Patent number: 10993787
    Abstract: An abutment arrangement for connecting a dental restoration to a dental implant, including a post body and a screw element. The post body has an expansion part and the screw element includes a spreading section. The passage extends through the expansion part of the post body. An outer diameter of the expansion part of the post body is elastically increasable by applying a lateral force. The passage of the post body has a pressure receiving section at the expansion part. When the screw element is located in the passage of the post body, the spreading section of the screw element is arrangeable at the pressure receiving section of the passage of the post body such that the lateral force is applied to the expansion part of the post body and the outer diameter of the expansion part of the post body is increased.

  • Patent number: 10987200
    Abstract: A dental restoration cementing device for cementing a dental restoration is disclosed having a closable axial passage to a base having a hollow interior which is open into an occlusal direction. The device includes a preferably elastic body portion dimensioned to tightly fit into the hollow interior of the base via the passage of the dental restoration. The device further includes a hollow cementing portion extending from the body portion. The cementing portion has a lateral opening which is located outside the base when the body portion is fitted into the hollow interior of the base such that a pathway is formed from the interior of the cementing portion through the lateral opening into a gap between the dental restoration and the base. The dental restoration cementing device allows for precisely, quickly and cost efficiently cementing the dental restoration to the base.

  • Patent number: 10687921
    Abstract: A set is disclosed that includes a connection device for connecting a prosthesis structure with an implant structure or a capped tooth, the connection device having a retention insert and a holding shell. The set also including a mounting tool for mounting and demounting the retention insert of the connection device to and from the holding shell of the connection device such that a retention rim of the retention insert is moved in towards its central axis when a demounting head of the mounting tool is arranged within a space between an outer surface of the retention rim of the retention insert and an inner surface of a holding rim of the holding shell allowing the retention insert to be released from the holding shell.

  • Patent number: 9993318
    Abstract: A retention insert (1), for connecting a dental prosthesis structure to a dental implant or capping structure having a head designed for a press-fit connection, comprises a substantially circular disc-shaped end face (12), and a substantially ring-shaped retention edge (11), which protrudes from the end face (12) and has an outer surface (114). The end face (12) has an opening (121), and, starting from an end (11b) of the retention edge (11) directed away from the end face (12), a substantially axial slit (14) extends through the retention edge (11) and the end face (12) to the opening (121) of the end face (12). Connected to the opening on the end face, the slit of the retention insert according to the invention is a relatively simple structure which ensures that the retention insert, and in particular the retention edge thereof, has an elasticity sufficient for snap-fitting it onto the head or the patrix head.

  • Patent number: 9615900
    Abstract: A male piece for reversible and detachable connection of a dental prosthetic construction to a jawbone, said male piece being designed with a fastening structure, by means of which the male piece can be fastened onto the jawbone, onto an implant that has been implanted in the jawbone, onto a tooth stump or onto a neighboring tooth, comprising a body section having an exterior surface corresponding to a lateral surface of a cylinder, such that the central axis of the cylinder defines a longitudinal axis of the male piece; a snap-on section, which is offset axially with respect to the longitudinal axis of the male piece relative to the body section, said snap-on section, comprising an exterior surface with a convex curvature along the longitudinal axis, which protrudes outward from the longitudinal axis of the male piece beyond the exterior surface of the body section; and a head end, which terminates the male piece axially with respect to its longitudinal axis, wherein the snap-on section is arranged closer to
