Abstract
A method for manufacturing an abutment for receiving a dental prosthesis provides a strong bond which avoids the need for sandblasting. The abutment, which is made of titanium or titanium alloy, extends along a longitudinal direction between a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end is configured to be received in or on a dental implant. The distal end is configured to receive and support a dental prosthesis. The distal end has a receiving surface which receives the dental prosthesis by bonding. The method includes texturing at least part of the receiving surface with a laser.
Claims14
A method for manufacturing a dental abutment, said method comprising the following steps:
- providing a dental abutment made of titanium or of titanium alloy for receiving a dental prosthesis on a dental implant, said dental abutment extending along a longitudinal direction (I-I) between a proximal end and a distal end, said dental abutment comprising:
- a) a proximal section configured to be received in or on a dental implant and extending along a first direction of elongation (II-II),
- b) a distal section configured to receive and support a dental prosthesis and extending along a second direction of elongation (III-III), said distal section having a receiving surface intended to receive said dental prosthesis by bonding,
- texturing at least partially the receiving surface by hollowing out grooves into said receiving surface using a laser.
