Abstract
This invention concerns a manufacturing method of a dental prosthesis, with specific reference to single-tooth prostheses. In particular, this invention deals with a manufacturing method a dental prosthesis or part thereof, that includes a milling step of a block (1) made of a material suitable for dental uses, where the aforementioned block (1) is secured to a connection device (L) with a dental implant.
Claims9
A method for manufacturing a dental prosthesis or a part thereof, comprising a milling step of a block realized in a material suitable for dental uses, wherein the block is secured to a connection element with a dental implant, comprising the following steps:
- a) providing a milling machine having a supporting element;
- b) supplying the block made of a material suitable for manufacturing the dental prosthesis, the block provided with a hole;
- c) providing the connection element for the dental implant, the connection element having a first connection portion operable to connect to the dental implant, and a second connection portion operable to connect to the dental prosthesis;
- d) inserting the second connection portion of the connection element into the hole of the block and securing the second connection portion to the block, so as to form an assembly block-connection element;
- e) providing a coupling member between the first connection portion and the supporting element of the milling machine;
- f) connecting the assembly block-connection element to the coupling member;
- g) assembling the coupling member with the assembly block-connection element on the supporting element of the milling machine, wherein the second connection portion of the connection element has a substantially conical shape and comprises a longitudinal relief;
- h) milling the block, so as to obtain a stump or the dental prosthesis.
