  • Patent number: 4850869
    Abstract: A dental prosthesis including a secondary member coupled to at least one prosthetic tooth suitable for being effectively mounted onto or readily removed from a primary member coupled to a remaining tooth or implant. A bar member is accommodated inside a common bore in the primary and secondary members for coupling thereof. An arresting disc member is introduced into a recess inside the prosthetic toth to block off a leading shaft portion of the bar member having the largest cross-section and preventing the bar member from falling out. The entire bar member is suitable for freely moving along the bores of the primary and secondary members. Between an intermediate portion of the bar member and the recess inside the prosthetic tooth is a space which is filled with plastic material. A trailing head portion of the bar member is ground off to correspond with the buccal exterior surface of the prosthetic tooth.
