20100240012 | METHOD FOR FABRICATING AN ABUTMENT - A method for fabricating an individual abutment for a dental prosthesis for use in an implant anchored in an area of the jaw with an implant attachment running on the abutment side, using a working model molded by the jaw area equipped with the implant. For this, the sulcus area of the gum uncovered above the implant and shaped by a sulcus-former extending from the implant attachment is reproduced in the working model. The abutment to be fabricated includes a sulcus section running within the sulcus area and an adjoining head section to admit a part of a dental prosthesis. So that the area of the abutment running below the gum line is geometrically adapted to it, it is proposed that the sulcus area of the working model having an auxiliary implant attachment corresponding to the implant attachment be measured, and on the basis of the data obtained by the measurement, a sulcus section model be determined with a circumferential surface and a de-facto sulcus line limiting it on the implant side. Missing data between the determined auxiliary implant attachment and the de-facto sulcus line are supplemented by library data which are assigned to the sulcus-former. The data of the sulcus section model are used, while allowing for the de-facto sulcus line or the auxiliary sulcus line and the library data to produce the sulcus section. | 09-23-2010 |
