Patent number: 10449020Abstract: Certain embodiments of the invention relate to a method of manufacturing a dental bridge. In certain embodiments of the method, a pre-sintered blank made from a green body of ceramic material is subjected to a machining operation that transforms the blank into an intermediate product with a bridge structure and a support body linked to the bridge structure by one or several retaining sections that extend from the support body to the bridge structure. In certain embodiments, a sintering operation is then performed on the intermediate product while the retaining section(s) still link(s) the support body to the bridge structure.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2008Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: NOBEL BIOCARE SERVICES AGInventors: Carina Berggren, Lars Jörneus, Ulf Johansson, Petrus Brännvall, Olof Vogel

Patent number: 10231804Abstract: An implant is provided with an upper portion in which an internal socket extends. The implant can be tightened by a turning instrument which has first lateral surfaces that can cooperate with corresponding second lateral surfaces in the internal socket. One or more of the first and/or second lateral surfaces is/are arranged completely or partially with friction-enhancing means. The implant and the tool are arranged with interacting parts which extend beyond the first and second lateral surfaces and completely or substantially take up bending moments which act in or on said portion or are directed toward said portion and occur in the event of skewing, or a tendency toward skewing, between the implant and the tool. The arrangement counteracts mechanical stresses in said portion, the latter being able to retain its original shape even in the case of implants with small dimensions.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2015Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: NOBEL BIOCARE SERVICES AGInventors: Lars Jorneus, Sanel Duric
