Abstract
A scan body with healing abutment for coupling to an implanted dental component includes: a scannable portion; a healing abutment portion; and a skirt positioned between the scannable portion and the healing abutment portion, the skirt having an upper surface containing scannable indicia. The scannable portion is positioned at an apical end of the healing abutment portion and comprises a tapered body; and the healing abutment portion comprises a lower surface of the skirt and a tapered hollow cuff extending from the lower surface of the skirt toward a distal end.
Claims9
A cap for coupling to an implanted dental component, the cap comprising:
- a scannable portion comprising a tapered body, the tapered body including a hole configured to receive a screw for attaching the cap to the implanted dental component;
- a healing abutment portion comprising a tapered hollow cuff having a height along a longitudinal axis;
- and
- a skirt positioned between the scannable portion and the healing abutment portion, the skirt having an upper surface containing scannable indicia, the scannable indicia indicative of a height of the tapered hollow cuff;
- wherein the scannable portion is positioned at a top end of the healing abutment portion;
- and
- wherein the tapered hollow cuff has an arcuate curvature extending from a first diameter portion indented under a lower surface of the skirt toward a second diameter portion at a distal end of the cap;
- the second diameter being larger than the first diameter and larger than a diameter of the implanted dental component, the tapered hollow cuff dimensioned to fit over and receive a protrusion of the implanted dental component.
A cap for coupling to an implanted dental component, the cap comprising:
- a scannable portion comprising a tapered body, the tapered body including a hole configured to receive a screw for attaching the cap to the implanted dental component;
- a healing abutment portion;
- and
- a skirt positioned between the scannable portion and the healing abutment portion, the skirt having an upper surface containing scannable indicia, the scannable indicia indicative of a height of the healing abutment portion, and a lower surface,
- wherein the scannable portion is positioned at a top end of the healing abutment portion,
- wherein the healing abutment portion comprises the lower surface of the skirt and a hollow cuff extending from the lower surface of the skirt toward a distal end the hollow cuff having a smaller diameter than the lower surface of the skirt, and
- wherein the hollow cuff is dimensioned to fit over and receive a protrusion of the implanted dental component and the skirt is configured to prevent extension of gum tissue above the lower surface of the skirt.
