Dental bridge attachment system and method

A removable bridge system for attachment to a plurality of dental implants, each implant having an implant body fixedly receivable inside a jawbone of a user, the system comprising:

• a plurality of separate and spaced apart abutments each connectable to a respective implant;
• a bridge comprising receiving apertures for the respective abutments;
• and
• a locking arrangement comprising one or more locks for removably locking and unlocking the bridge to the abutments by the user,
• wherein a tolerance between the receiving apertures of the bridge and the respective abutments is tight, so as to reduce, or substantially eliminate any tolerance and respective motion between the receiving aperture and respective abutments,
• wherein the locking arrangement is locked or unlocked substantially without a need for any tools, and
• wherein the load applied through the bridge while chewing is fully born by the abutments and directed to the dental implants.

• a plurality of separate and spaced apart abutments each connectable to a respective implant;
• a bridge generally conforming with dental parameters of the individual, the bridge comprising receiving apertures for the respective abutments;
• and
• a locking arrangement for removably locking and unlocking the bridge to the abutments by manipulation of the locking arrangement by the user,
• wherein a tolerance between the receiving apertures of the bridge and the respective abutments is tight, so as to reduce, or substantially eliminate any tolerance and respective motion between the receiving apertures and abutments,
• wherein the locking arrangement is locked or unlocked substantially without a need for any tools, and
• wherein the load applied through the bridge while chewing is fully born by the abutments and directed to the dental implants.

A removable bridge system for attachment to a plurality of dental implants, each implant having an implant body fixedly receivable inside a jawbone of an individual and an implant head projected from said jawbone, the system comprising:

• a plurality of separate and spaced apart abutments, each comprising a seat portion formed with a shape conforming with a shape of a corresponding implant head and allowing fixedly positioning of the abutment to the implant, and an abutment head;
• at least one of the abutments is configured as a locking abutment and comprises a locking portion;
• a bridge generally conforming with dental parameters of the individual, comprising a bottom surface provided with receiving apertures, each receiving aperture shaped so as to snugly fit over at least a portion of a corresponding abutment head;
• and the bridge further comprises a locking arrangement for removably locking or unlocking the bridge to one or more of the abutments, the locking arrangement comprising one or more locks for releasable locking engagement of the bridge with one or more of the abutments,
• wherein the locking arrangement is locked or unlocked substantially without a need for any tools, and
• wherein a load applied through the bridge while chewing is fully born by the abutments and directed to the implants.
