Dental implant-retained device and methods of fabricating thereof

A method of fabricating a dental implant-retained record base device for obtaining an interocclusal record, the method comprising:

• first inserting an impression post into a dental implant in a partially-dentate patient,
• obtaining a dental impression of the partially-dentate patient in the form of a dental cast including the impression post, then
• molding a first light-curable resin into a cubic shape;
• attaching the first light-curable resin to the dental cast of the partially-dentate patient at the impression post used in obtaining the dental impression of the partially-dentate patient for the dental implant;
• curing the first light-curable resin on the dental cast using a visible light to form a record base device;
• wherein the impression post includes a cylindrical exterior extension and a plurality of evenly space holes passing through the long axis of the extension, the axis of each hole perpendicular to the axis of the extension, wherein the axis of each hole is shifted by 10-30 degrees radially from the axis of any neighboring hole.

A method of fabricating a dental implant-retained record base device and obtaining an interocclusal record using the dental implant-retained record base device, the method comprising:

• attaching a light-curable resin to a dental cast of a partially-dentate patient using an impression post that is used in obtaining a dental impression of the patient for a dental implant;
• curing the light-curable resin on the dental cast using a visible light to form a record base device;
• adjusting a shape of the record base device to aid in positioning of an interocclusal record material;
• and
• obtaining an interocclusal record of the patient using the record base device and the interocclusal record material;
• and
• wherein obtaining the interocclusal record of the patient includes:
• attaching the record base device to the dental implant of the patient using a fastener;
• and
• positioning the interocclusal record material using the record base device.
