Device for reconstructing teeth

Abstract

In a dental implant device for reconstructing teeth, a supporting element and an abutment portion form a single substructure (10). This substructure comprises an inner metal core (13) and an outer sheath (14) that is formed of a ceramic and/or of a composite material. The lower part of the substructure forms the supporting element (12), and the upper abutment portion functions as a retaining mold portion (11) for receiving the tooth crown (3) reconstructed tooth. The retaining mold portion (11) merges at a concavely rounded transition with the supporting element; and the terminal collar of the tooth crown of the reconstructed tooth has a matching convexly rounded run-out, so that in the assembled state, the transition and the run-out form a perfectly congruent seat (15). The outer sheath and the tooth crown have the same color structure and may be made of the same or similar materials.
