Abstract
The invention concerns a supra structure abutment holder for holding an arrangement of supra structure 16 and abutment 14, with a clamping device 12 for the arrangement, and is characterized in that clamping device 12 is adjustable in its height relative to an auxiliary device 26, in particular via threads.
Claims19
Supra structure abutment holder comprising
- clamping device (12), and
- an auxiliary device (26),
- wherein the clamping device (12) is adjustable in height, relative to the auxiliary device (26).
Supra structure abutment holder according to claim 16,
- wherein the threads are self-retaining and are formed as fine-pitch threads and/or the adjustment of the relative position between auxiliary device (26) and clamping device (12) is provided via a fine grating.
Supra structure abutment holder according to claim 17,
- wherein the blind hole has a diameter which corresponds to the diameter of a largest diameter of the abutment (14) or the abutment socket, and
- wherein at least one spacer ring is provided to compensate for a difference in diameter between the abutment (14) or the abutment socket and the blind hole.
Process for providing a bonding gap between a supra structure (16) and an abutment (14), wherein the abutment (14) is accommodated with an upper portion inside the supra structure (16), and wherein a clamping device (12) for guaranteeing a uniform bonding gap (18) exerts some force between the supra structure (16) and the abutment (14),
- wherein opposite of the clamping device (12), an auxiliary device (26) is provided which accommodates a portion of the supra structure (16), and
- wherein, opposite of the auxiliary device (26), the clamping device (12) may be adjusted in a height relative to the auxiliary device (26).
