Fixation Base and Guides for Dental Prosthesis Installation
Apparatus and method for installing a dental prosthesis to maxillary or mandibular jawbone of a patient are shown and described. The apparatus and method include a fixation base for providing an attachment surface and an abutment guide attachable to said fixation base in a position wherein the abutment guide is oriented to receive abutments and guide the abutments for placement on the implants. The abutment guide has at least one peg that is designed to be scannable by an intraoral scanner and is designed as a positioning structure that allows a dental prosthesis to be releasably attached to the abutment guide in a specific position.
Fixation base and guides for dental prosthesis installation
Apparatus and method for installing a multi-tooth dental prosthesis in one session are shown and described. A first tool attaches to the jawbone, and serves as a foundation for subsequently used guides. Existing teeth and dental fixtures are removed, and the bone tissue is removed to accommodate the prosthesis. Subsequently, a drill guide is used to drill implant holes. An abutment guide is then used to place abutments. Copings are then installed. Next, the prosthesis may be installed and cemented to the copings. A resinous filler material may be applied to fill gaps and holes in and between the copings and the prosthesis, and is sanded smooth.
