  • Patent number: 8562345
    Abstract: The device for fastening a dental prosthesis includes a bar patrix (20) and a connecting part (10), which can be attached to the dental prosthesis and has a recess into which the bar patrix can be inserted and which is surrounded by two side walls (11, 12) connected via a ceiling element (13). The side walls (11, 12) and the ceiling element (13) are shaped such that the dental prosthesis, when it is placed on the bar patrix (20) via the connecting part (10) attached thereon, rests on the bar patrix via a first (11), a second (12) and a third support location (13c), wherein in each case a free space (14a, 14b) is present between the first and third support locations and the second and third support locations.

  • Publication number: 20100209874
    Abstract: The arrangement for forming a bar construction, to which a prosthesis can be fastened, may comprise: a first connecting element with a first end which has a through-opening through which an end of a fixation screw can be passed in order to fasten the first connecting element in a specific angular position in relation to an implant, and a second end which is connectable with a bar, and a second connecting element, which is connectable by a releasable connection to the first connecting element, and securing means for counteracting a separation of the two connecting elements from each other when these are connected and moved. The two connecting elements may each comprise an end that has a substantially spherical inner face and a substantially spherical outer face. The head of a fixation screw may have a first substantially spherical outer face and a second substantially conical outer face.

  • Patent number: 6190169
    Abstract: The anchorage for dental prosthetics includes a male member which is attachable to a tooth and comprises, in a preferred embodiment, a ball head, and a female member which is attachable to a dental prosthesis. The female member comprises an internal thread and a lamellar insert having a threaded portion for receiving and retaining the ball head, the retention force of the lamellar insert being continuously adjustable by rotation thereof. A female member of this kind with a screwed lamellar insert allows a fine adjustment of the retention of the male member in accordance with the actual conditions.
