Wound-healing unit for a dental restoration

Abstract

Wound-healing unit for connection to a dental implant during a wound-healing phase of a dental restoration procedure, comprising a wound-healing element (10) intended to be surrounded at least partially by gum (63), and an abutment (1) intended to be fixed in an implant (60), characterized in that the wound-healing element comprises a lateral surface (13), which is intended to be integrated within gum in order to shape the gum during the wound-healing thereof, and an end surface (14), a part of the lateral surface (13) and of the end surface (14) forming a protruding surface, which is intended to remain outside the gum and is asymmetrical with respect to at least a perpendicular median plane, and in that the abutment comprises a longitudinal axis (L) along its entire length, for alignment with the axis of an implant (60).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a healing assembly with a healing element for dental restoration, and to a method of manufacturing a dental restoration post based on such a healing element. Background technique [0002] Dental restorations provide dentures to patients who are missing some or all of their teeth. It is based on the insertion of one or more implants in the bony structure, performed by an incision in the gums in order to reach and drill holes in the bony structure. The healing element is then generally secured to the implant, and the assembly remains untouched until the implant is united in the bony structure by bone assimilation and healing of the gingiva around the healing element. Dental Restoration A restoration post is secured to the implant, upon which the denture is secured and shaped. Posts and dentures are individualized to suit the body shape of the patient and the teeth to be replaced, ideally as close to a natural set of teeth as po...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] - In many existing methods, following implant placement and gingival healing, the gingiva is reprocessed to achieve a solid or numerical cavity of the space to be repaired, while making the implant and gingiva aesthetically pleasing and precise taking into account its entire geometry in order to produce posts and dentures with precise shapes: this method is often traumatic;

[0005] - other existing methods limit this trauma by using healing elements which are not removed when obtaining the cavity, so as not to injure the gums: as compensation, these methods use special healing elements, generally of cylindrical standard shape, Sometimes with index marks and / or multiple auxiliary elements to allow to take into account the whole or part of the geometry on the implant, not fully involved in the acquisition of the cavity

Consequently, these less traumatic approaches have additional drawbacks, complications, and / or suboptimal healing periods
