Abstract
A blank adapted for use in custom fabrication of an implant for dental restoration includes first and second joined parts. The first part is made of the raw material of the ultimate implant, whereas the second part can be made of a different material. The second part is shaped to facilitate a positive support of the blank in a milling machine, and is preferably equipped with a code-bearing surface which permits information about the physical properties of the blank to be sensed by the machine. In a preferred realization, the first part is made from ceramic silica and the second part from aluminum, and the two are bonded by an acrylic glue.
