Abstract

See full text

A method and a system for preparing a single-tooth prosthodontic restoration for non-rotational fixation to a dental implant fixture of the kind having a threaded socket together with anti-rotation means to restrain components non-rotationally attached to the fixture. The system provides a set of attachments comprising a two part impression coping having anti-rotation means cooperative with the anti-rotation means of the fixture and index means to fix the coping against rotation when encased in resilient impression material, a laboratory analog having a replica of the anti-rotation means of the fixture and core means on which to fabricate the restoration, the core means having a replica of the anti-rotation means of the impression coping. The method of using the system prepares a single-tooth restoration for fixation on an implanted fixture non-rotationally and with the desired orientation around its axis, so that no stabilizing connection to an adjacent tooth is required.
