Abstract
A dental restoration piece is provided which includes a base structure and an over structure which at least partially covers the base structure and which includes hardened bite elements. An interconnecting material interconnects the hardened bite elements with the base structure. In accordance with the inventive method of producing a dental restoration piece, the interconnecting material applied onto the base structure is hardened fully after the hardened bite elements have first been pressed into the still-malleable interconnecting material.
Claims7
A dental restoration piece, comprising
- a base structure (13);
- an over structure (12, 14, 16, 18, 20) which is securable to the base structure in a manner in which the over structure at least partially covers the base structure, the over structure being comprised of at least two hardened bite elements;
- and
- interconnecting material (10) which secures the hardened bite elements to the base structure.
A method for producing a dental restoration piece, comprising the steps of:
- providing a base structure;
- applying an interconnecting material onto a base structure;
- pressing onto the interconnecting material at least two hardened bite elements which forms at least a portion of the bite forming region of the over surface in a manner such that the hardened bite elements are ultimately oriented for biting operation;
- and
- subjecting the interconnecting material on the base structure to a hardening process by which the interconnecting material is hardened fully.
