Abstract
A dental bridge system (10) is provided, comprising a superstructure (14) having a teeth-mimicking portion at a distal end thereof, and at least one receiving cavity formed on a proximal side thereof, at least one support arrangement (12) configured for being fixedly secured, at a proximal side thereof, to an alveolar ridge of an individual, and being formed so as to be received, at a distal side thereof, within one of the receiving cavities to facilitate carrying of the superstructure (14), and a buffering arrangement (16) disposed between the superstructure (14) and the support arrangement (12), the buffer arrangement (16) being configured to damp shock impulses between the support arrangement (12) and the superstructure (14).
Claims19
A dental bridge system comprising:
- a superstructure having a teeth-mimicking portion at a distal end thereof, and at least one receiving cavity formed on a proximal side thereof;
- a support arrangement configured for being fixedly secured, at a proximal side thereof, to an alveolar ridge of an individual, and being formed so as to be received, at a distal side thereof, within one of said receiving cavities to facilitate carrying of the superstructure, wherein the support arrangement comprises a plurality of proximally-facing bores each formed within a plurality of positioning posts of the support arrangement;
- a buffering arrangement disposed between the superstructure and the support arrangement, said buffering arrangement being configured to damp shock impulses between said support arrangement and said superstructure;
- and
- a locking system having at least one locking pin for passing through the superstructure, the support arrangement, and the buffering arrangement, wherein the locking system includes lock-housings each formed as a cylindrical projection defining a bore passing therethrough,
- wherein said buffering arrangement, said superstructure and said support arrangement each have corresponding apertures that correspond to one another to accommodate passage therethrough of said at least one locking pin when the buffering arrangement and superstructure are fully received with the support arrangement, and
- wherein the at least one locking pin is configured to be removable, such that the superstructure and support arrangement are removable from one another.
