Abstract
An interface element for dental prostheses, having a hollow cylindrical body with two different sections, one lower section (a) of greater outer diameter and another upper section (b) of smaller outer diameter, each provided externally with retention circular grooves (2). The element had an internal seat (4) for a screw head (5) which fixes the implant, and a lower base (6). A side mortise (7) is provided that covers the upper section (b) and provides a side opening for the inclined entrance of the screw (5) and screwdriver (8). The element further includes two flat surfaces (9) at diametrically opposite sides of the lower section.
Claims18
An interface element for dental prostheses, configured from a hollow cylindrical body comprising:
- an internal seat (4) for a screw head (5) of a screw configured to be inserted inside the interface element so as to fix the interface element to an implant by screwing;
- a lower base (6) having a perimeter lip;
- wherein the hollow cylindrical body comprises a cylindrical wall that is incomplete due to a mortise (7), the mortise defining a side opening in the cylindrical wall configured to allow a variable inclined entrance of the screw (5) and a screwdriver (8) for threading said screw (5);
- and
- wherein the interface element further comprises two flat outer surfaces formed at diametrically opposed sides of a lower section of the circular body to provide a positioning reference and better retention of the prosthesis on the interface.
An interface element for dental prostheses, configured from a hollow cylindrical body comprising:
- an internal seat for a screw head of a screw configured to be inserted inside the interface element so as to fix to an implant;
- and
- a perimeter outwardly extending lip at a lower end of the cylindrical body;
- wherein an upper portion of the cylindrical body is in the form of an incomplete cylindrical structure about a cylindrical axis defined by an internal cylindrical wall of less than 360 degrees that extends parallel to the cylindrical axis until terminating at a distal open free end opposite to the lower end;
- and
- wherein the interface element further comprises two flat outer surfaces formed at diametrically opposed sides of a lower section of the circular body to provide a positioning reference and better retention of the prosthesis on the interface.

- wherein a lower section has a first diameter and the upper portion has a second diameter that is smaller than the first diameter;
- and
- wherein the interface element further comprises circular retention grooves on each of the lower section and the upper portion for fixing the prosthesis.
