A device is provided for determining the angulation of an abutment for a dental implant. The device includes a conical projection extending from a housing. The conical projection is adapted for insertion into a hole in the dental implant. A rotary body is disposed in the housing and is rotatable among a plurality of different angular positions relative to the conical projection. A rod-shaped indicator is connected to the rotary body. The rotary body can be secured to the housing in one of the angular positions by a locking device. The device may be part of an assembly that includes an indicator device having a receiving opening for accommodating the conical projection and an indicator scale that includes a plurality of marked sectors corresponding to a plurality of predefined abutments, respectively. The location of the rod-shaped indicator relative to the marked sectors indicates the predefined abutment that should be selected.

Device for determining a suitable angulation of an abutment for a dental implant, and arrangement comprising such a device

A prosthetic abutment made from metal for securing to the enossal part of a dental implant is capable of being adapted to the natural shape of the individual teeth inasmuch as it ends on the occlusal side in a truncated cone produced by removal of material from a paraboloid of revolution, said truncated cone having in cross-section a semi-elliptical base plane on the labial side and a paraboloid base plane on the lingual side.

Prosthetic abutment for dental implants

A transfer cap for dental implants which is protected during the working in the mouth against rotations and shifting and therefore permits a precise molding of the oral situation, carries one or more resilient flaps on its open end and is optionally provided with protuberances.

Transfer cap for dental implants

A method of producing a sintered, very high density dental prosthesis from a suspension containing noble-metal powder mixtures with bi or multimodal particle-size distribution and a mixing liquid. The suspension is molded to the desired shape and then the dental prosthesis is dried. The molded dental prosthesis is then heat-treated 5 to 45 minutes between 100.degree. and 400.degree. C., then heated with an average temperature elevation of 50 to 300 K/min. to 800.degree. C. and then brought to the sintering temperature T at 20 to 200 K/min. The sintering temperature T is between T.sub.solidus - 200) and T.sub.solidus - 70), whereby T.sub.solidus is the solidus temperature of the sintered alloy. The cooling-down of the dental prosthesis takes place under a vacuum or a protective gas.
