Embodiment Construction

[0013] figure 1 Among them, 1 indicates a graft. 2 indicates the isolator element connected to the graft. 3 represents part of the carbon fiber bridge. bridge or equivalent anchored to the figure 1 of two or more grafts. figure 1 Only one graft and associated isolator element is shown in , as different grafts and isolator elements may have the same or substantially the same structure. Reference is made here to the aforementioned WO document. The graft is anchored within the jawbone, indicated schematically at 4, with the gingiva 5 or soft tissue on top of the jawbone. The oral epithelium of the gingiva is indicated by 6 and the intragingival fibers of the gingiva are indicated by 7 . Additionally, the periosteum surrounding the outer surface 1a of the graft is indicated by 8 . The implant can be anchored in the jawbone 4 in a manner known per se, for example by external threads on the implant (not shown). The implant can be screwed into the jawbone through the prepared...

Abstract

In a method for orienting a bridge (3) in position relative to a dental implant (1) with the aid of spacer members, these are brought into cooperation with, on the one hand, the respective implant and, on the other hand, with fastening members (11) arranged in the bridge. A first sleeve-shaped part (9) included in the spacer member is bought into cooperation with the implant (1). A second sleeve-shaped part (10) included in the spacer member is brought into cooperation with, on the one hand, the first sleeve-shaped part and, on the other hand, with a fastening member in the bridge. Said sleeve-shaped parts (9, 10) are made to assume assembled positions when the bridge is anchored to the implants. Upon detachment of the bridge from the implant, the first and second sleeve-shaped parts are separated so that the first sleeve-shaped. part can maintain its position on the implant. The second sleeve-shaped part can follow along with the bridge or can constitute a free part. The invention also relates to an arrangement for obtaining said position orientation. By means of the invention, it is possible to reduce the number of components in connection with bridge installations. A good esthetic appearance can be maintained, and it is possible to minimize damage which can cause bone absorption.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates in particular to a method for positioning a bridge relative to dental implants, with the help of spacer elements which cooperate on the one hand with the respective implant and on the other hand with the fastening elements arranged in the bridge. The parts match. The invention also relates to a device for positioning a bridge relative to dental implants, comprising a spacer element which on the one hand cooperates with the respective implant and on the other hand allows positioning by cooperating with fastening means arranged in the bridge. [0002] The present invention is a further development of patent application WO 03 / 061512 filed by the same applicant and inventor as the present patent application. With regard to the structure of the tooth bridge and the connection of the tooth bridge, reference is made to the specifically mentioned patent application. Background technique [0003] Depending on the content of the filed pat...
