  • Patent number: 9033708
    Abstract: A dental bridge armature designed to be screw-fastened onto dental implants, the dental bridge armature having reinforcing elements formed by long fibers pre-impregnated with photo-polymerizable resin which are either woven or in bundles. The reinforcing elements are in the form of a fibrous framework including a main brace and base reinforcing elements wound around a series of implant abutments screwed onto the implants. Secondary braces are also wound around the main brace and the base reinforcing elements. The braces form an angle between 15° and 85° with the base reinforcing elements. The armature is then included in a PMMA coating resin by a pressing or injection technique.

  • Publication number: 20130309627
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tubular dental reinforcement preform formed by a cord made from woven fibres. The cord is impregnated and filled by a polymerizable resin and is able, by isostatic crushing, to take the shape of a strip without breaking of the woven fibres constituting the cord, the polymerizable resin being able to creep through the cord to form two lateral parts. The invention also relates to a production method of a dental contention strip from such a tubular reinforcement preform.

  • Patent number: 6244869
    Abstract: A frame for a removable dental prosthesis has a base part having a layer of woven fabrics of a composite material, which is arranged as a support shell in the form of an arch designed to cover at least a part of the patient's jaw. An intermediate part extends along the top of the base part to form a beam having a good crushing strength, and forming the limits of the section of the frame. A surface part forms a cap totally covering the base part and intermediate part, the material of the cap being formed by a laminated fiber reinforcement material having an organic matrix of the same nature as that of the base part. The assembly, made up of the base part, the intermediate part and the surface part form, after shaping and polymerization, a self-supporting profiled part having a good breaking resistance.
