Abstract
The present invention relates to a dental object (100) for attaching to a tooth (101) or teeth in an intraoral space, having an adhesive region (103) with a gutta-percha material (105) for attaching the dental object (100) to the tooth (101) or teeth.
Claims11
A dental object (100) for attachment to a tooth or teeth (101) in an intraoral space, comprising:
- a housing (107) and/or a retaining plate,
- wherein the housing (107) and/or the retaining plate comprises a sensor,
- an adhesive region (103) comprising a gutta-percha material (105) for attaching the housing (107) and/or the retaining plate to the tooth (101),
- wherein a layer (109) of the gutta-percha material (105) is attached to the housing (107) and/or the retaining plate,
- wherein the layer (109) of gutta-percha material (105) is attached to the housing (107) and/or the retaining plate (121) by an adhesive layer (115);
- and/or the housing (107) and/or the retaining plate comprises a textured surface for attaching the gutta-percha material (105);
- and/or the housing (107) and/or the retaining plate comprises one or more latching elements for attaching the gutta-percha material (105);
- and/or the housing (107) and/or the retaining plate comprises one or more connecting elements for establishing a form fit between the adhesive region and the housing (107) and/or the retaining plate (121), and
- wherein the gutta-percha material (105) comprises a prefabricated passage opening (111) for guiding fluid from the tooth into an interior of the housing (107).
6 more elements
