Abstract: A process for the manufacture of a dental implant restoration system including an abutment for attaching a dental prosthesis within a patient's mouth. The abutment is a single unit structure fabricated of a ceramic material, multicolored throughout to match the color of the dental prosthesis, the surrounding dentition and the surrounding gingival tissue.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dental implant system comprising a dental implant (28), a dental restoration part (12), a connector (24) with a central through-hole (58) and a circumferential, radially outwardly projecting collar (30) and with a screw (52) passing through the through-hole (58) by means of which at least the connector (24) may be fixedly connected with the dental implant (28), wherein the collar (30) comprises a first stop surface (26) that interacts with the dental implant (28), and a second stop surface (32) that interacts with an abutment (16) or a dental restoration part (12). The color of the collar (30), in particular the color of the connector (24), at least corresponds to a tooth color or a gingival color. The connector (24) at least partially respectively extends into the dental implant (28) and/or into the abutment (16), and substantially consists of the same material as the abutment (16) or consists of zirconium oxide.

Abstract: In a shade determination apparatus for teeth and dental restorations, a set of reference templates for comparing to a patient's tooth is provided. Based on the coloration of the reference template, the shade of a tooth or of a restoration to be employed can be determined. The reference templates are produced in a layer arrangement, taking into consideration layer thickness, material selection, or both, that corresponds to the tooth or the dental restoration to be employed. A storage apparatus stores the coloration of the reference templates, and the layering of the tooth or of the dental restoration can be matched and determined based on partial images from an image of the patient's tooth.
