Abstract
An implant for dental prostheses includes an endosseous portion and a stump. The endosseous portion includes a crown margin configured to be opposed to a corresponding crown margin of the stump. At least one of the crown margins is conical or however has a different taper with respect to the opposed crown margin so that, once the stump has been coupled to the endosseous portion, the contact and interference surface between the crown margins is a reduced annular surface.
Claims6
An implant (1a, 1b, 1c) for dental prostheses, comprising:
- an endosseous portion (2) configured to be implanted in a bone site of a dental arch;
- and
- a stump (3) configured to be fixed to said endosseous portion (2) and to be coupled to a dental prosthesis,
- wherein said endosseous portion (2) comprises a crown margin (24) suited to be opposed to a corresponding crown margin (33) of said stump (3), thereby defining a sealing area (5),
- wherein said crown margin (33) of the stump (3) is opposed to and smaller than said crown margin (24) of the endosseous portion (2), whereby a most external edge (35) of the crown margin (33) of the stump (3) is recessed with respect to a most external edge (26) of the crown margin (24) of the endosseous portion,
- wherein each one of said crown margins (33, 24) is a planar surface, said planar surfaces being not parallel to each other,
- wherein at least one of the crown margins (33, 24) of the endosseous portion or the stump lies on a conical surface while the other one of the crown margins (24, 33) of the endosseous portion or the stump lies on a straight or conical surface having a different taper, so that, once said stump (3) has been coupled to said endosseous portion (2), a contact and interference surface (51) between said crown margins (33, 24) is an annular surface that is smaller compared to a size of the crown margins (33, 24) and proximal to an external edge (35) of said crown margin (33) of said stump (3).
