摘要:
A lower region of a temporary abutment includes an anti-rotational feature for non-rotationally mating with a dental implant. An upper region of the temporary abutment includes a first anti-rotational structure and at least one retention groove. A top surface of the temporary abutment includes one or more informational markers that provide information concerning the dental implant. A temporary abutment cap is configured to be coupled to the upper region of the temporary abutment. The temporary abutment cap has at least one projection configured to mate with the at least one retention groove of the temporary abutment. The temporary abutment cap has a second anti-rotational structure that is configured to slideably engage the first anti-rotational structure of the temporary abutment. The temporary abutment cap is configured to be coupled with a temporary prosthesis such that the temporary prosthesis and the temporary abutment cap are removable from the temporary abutment.
摘要:
A method of designing a patient-specific prosthesis for a current patient includes receiving scan data of a mouth of the current patient to identify conditions at a location at which the patient-specific prosthesis is to be placed on a dental implant, and determining at least two clinical factors for the current patient. The method further includes identifying a desired outcome for soft tissue for the current patient at the location, and accessing a database having soft-tissue-outcome information for each of a plurality of previous patients. The database further includes clinical-factor information for each of the plurality of previous patients. Based on the soft-tissue-outcome information and the clinical-factor information for at least one of the plurality of previous patients being related to the current patient's desired outcome and the current patient's at least two clinical factors, the method includes developing a design for the patient-specific prosthesis for the current patient.
摘要:
An abutment system is for attachment to a dental implant having a threaded bore and for engaging the surrounding gingival tissue. The abutment system includes a base and a polymeric abutment cap. The base includes a lower region and an upper region. The lower region includes an anti-rotational feature for non-rotationally mating with one of the dental implants. The upper region includes a first anti-rotational structure and a first axial retention structure. The polymeric abutment cap has a second anti-rotational structure for mating with the first anti-rotational structure and a second axial retention structure for mating with the first axial retention structure. The abutment cap has an upper surface that includes information markers. The information markers define a unique code that provides information concerning the abutment cap and the underlying dental implant.
