DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0036] The invention may be defined as, but is not limited to, premill abutment (1) with the (three-dimensional) shape of the gingiva former (30) added to the initial form as the basic structure. Due to the invention, it can be categorized as a premill abutment (1) containing a part compatible with the shape of the cavity formed in the gingiva of the gingiva former (30). Hereinafter, it will be referred to as the gingiva part (12), as this portion corresponds to the gingival region.

[0037] This invention relates to premill abutments (1), which are the forms of the abutments used in dental implant applications before being subjected to the shaping process (shaping after the measurement process), characterized in that the part corresponding to the gingival region has a three-dimensional shape that is fully compatible with the shape of the gingiva former (30) used in the treatment. The portion having a shape fully compatible with the shape of the gingiva former (30) will be called the gingiva part (12). In other words, the said gingiva part (12) of the premill abutment (1) has a three-dimensional shape that is fully compatible with the gingiva former (30) and thus with the healed gingival cavity formed by the gingiva former (30).

[0038] The said premill abutment (1) is essentially in a monolithic form and consists of three parts. The premill abutment (1) of the invention contains the mentioned parts as the starting form. The initial form is defined as a form that has not been subjected to a forming process (before being subjected to a forming process) after the implant application. These parts are defined as the body (10), the gingiva part (12), and the connection part (11).

[0039] The connection part (11) is the element that provides the insertion of the abutment to the implant screw placed in the alveolar bone in the dental implant application. The connection part (11) is located at the end of the gingiva part (12) corresponding to the gingiva and bone side of the abutment in implant application.

[0040] The body (10) is the part of the premill abutment (1) that will be subjected to the shaping process to obtain the abutment. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the body (10) is in the form of a cylinder block. In addition, in different versions of the invention, the body (10) structures with different three-dimensional shapes can be found. The body (10) begins at the other end of the gingiva part (12) with respect to the connection part (11). In other words, the body (10) is located on the side of the abutment to be placed on the crown (prosthetic tooth) in the implant application.

[0041] The gingiva part (12) is the part of the premill abutment (1) that has a shape that is fully compatible with the shape of the gingiva former (30) used in the treatment. It is located between the body (10) and the connection part (11). The gingiva part (12) does not need to be reshaped in practice, as it is fully compatible with the gingiva part (30). In this context, when the gingiva former (30) is removed in the implant application, thanks to the said gingiva part (12), the premill abutment (1) (hence the abutment) can be fully inserted into the gingival cavity. Thus, the negativity that occurs due to the non-compliance of the abutment with the healing gingival contours and that results in discomfort, movement, pressure, pain, bleeding and even infection is prevented.

[0042] Thanks to the said gingiva part (12), the measurement from the bone and implant level has been eliminated. Thus, it was possible to take measurements without removing the gingiva former (30).

[0043] In the preferred version of the invention, the gingiva former (30), which is suitable for inserting the measurement post (20) and includes a connection such as an abutment, is used. There is a measurement post (20) or a connection part (slot) suitable for the insertion of a scanbody on the gingiva former (30) used in the invention. The said connection slot can be closed with a separate closing screw when the measurement post (20) or the scanbody is not attached. The said closing screw may also be used as an element to secure the gingiva former (30) to the implant screw.

[0044] In dental implant application, the gingiva part (12) corresponding to the healed gingival cavity, the method of application of premill abutment (1), which has a three-dimensional shape that is fully compatible with the shape of the gingiva former (30) used in the treatment, is as follows. [0045] The implant screw is inserted into the alveolar bone. [0046] While waiting for osseointegration of the implant screw with the bone, the implant screw gap is closed with the closing screw. [0047] When the osseointegration of the implant screw with the bone takes place, the closing screw is removed and the gingiva former (30) is attached instead to align and heal the gingival contours. [0048] The measurement post (20) slot of the gingiva former (30) is closed with a closing (fixing) screw. [0049] Measurement procedures are started by removing the closing screw and attaching the scanbody or measurement post (20) on the gingiva former (30). [0050] Measurement is taken. [0051] The measurement post (20) (or scanbody) is removed and the closing (fixing) screw is reinserted. [0052] The model is created according to the size taken. [0053] By designing the abutment according to the model, only (mostly) the body (10) part of the premill abutment (1) is shaped according to the design. [0054] The gingiva former (30) is removed. [0055] The shaped abutment is placed on the implant screw by means of the connection part (11).

[0056] The basic process steps of the application method of the said premill abutment (1) are as follows. [0057] In the treatment of dental implants, a measurement is performed by attaching a scanbody or a measurement post (20) on the gingiva former (30), which is used for the alignment and healing of the gingiva contours. [0058] The measurement post (20) (or scanbody) is removed and the closing (fixing) screw is inserted. [0059] By making an abutment design according to the size taken, only the part of the body (10) of the premill abutment (1) is shaped.

[0060] The preferred process steps of the method of application of the said premill abutment (1) are as follows. [0061] Performing the measurement by attaching the scanbody or measurement post (20) on the gingiva former (30) used for the alignment and healing of the gingival contours in dental implant treatment: [0062] Removing the measurement post (20) (or scanbody); [0063] Attaching re-closing (fastening) screw,. [0064] Making the abutment design according to the measurement and shaping the body (10) part of the premill abutment (1), [0065] Removing the gingiva former (30) and replacing it with the produced abutment.

[0066] Since the gingiva former (30) is not removed, comfort is provided during the procedure for the patient and the physician thanks to the invention. Precise measurement ensures that the gingiva shape can be transferred to the exact model. Measurement can be taken by both the classical method (measuring spoon) and the digital method.

[0067] Adjectives such as upper, lower, front, back, inside, outside, and side expressed in the description do not define a priority, direction and/or order to restrict the invention. The expressions were used in this way to better understand the embodiment of the invention.
