专利汇可以提供Method and apparatus for forming dental prosthesis专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且Method and apparatus for forming permanent dental prosthesis (i.e., dental bridges) in situ, meaning that the bridge is formed and secured in place directly in the mouth of the patient without the necessity for making impressions, casting models and other processes normally required to form a bridge. This is accomplished in accordance with the principal embodiment of the invention by (1) drilling cavities in two teeth on either side of a space to be occupied by a bridge; (2) inserting into the cavities the opposite ends of a metallic bar; (3) securing the ends of the bar in place within the cavities with a filling material placed in the cavities; (4) inserting a filling material, preferably an unhardened resin-bonded quartz composite in paste form, into one or more hollow tooth molds; (5) forcing the tooth molds containing the unhardened pastelike filling material over the bar and permitting the filling material to harden to form a solid tooth structure which is bonded to the aforesaid bar; and (6) removing the tooth mold or molds from the thus-hardened tooth structure, the thus-formed teeth being held in the mouth by the aforesaid bar anchored to living teeth on either side of the space occupied by the bridge. While in most cases the bar will be secured at its opposite ends within two cavities, it is also within the purview of the invention to secure one end of the bar only within a cavity drilled in one tooth, the prosthesis being supported in cantilever beam fashion. This is particularly useful in forming teeth at the front of the mouth (e.g., a lateral incisor supported on a cantilever bar secured at one end to a cuspid).,下面是Method and apparatus for forming dental prosthesis专利的具体信息内容。

1. In the method for forming a dental prosthesis, the steps of Drilling a cavity into at least one of two teeth separated by a space for at least one missing tooth such that the cavity will have an opening facing the other of said two teeth, inserting an end of a metallic bar into the thus-formed cavity with the bar spanning the distance between said two teeth, securing an end of said bar within said cavity, filling a hollow tooth form with a pastelike dental restorative material which will harden over a period of time into a mass simulating the appearance of a tooth, forcing said hollow tooth form when filled with the dental restorative material in unhardened paste form down over the portion of said bar spanning the distance between said two teeth such that the material will harden around and become permanently secured to said bar to form a tooth in situ, and thereafter removing from the thus-hardened mass and said spanning bar said hollow tooth form.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein only one cavity is drilled in said two separated teeth, the bar being supported in said one cavity when filled with a dental restorative material in cantilever beam fashion.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein cavities are drilled into both of said two teeth, the cavities facing each other with one cavity being mesial and the other distal, the opposite ends of the bar being inserted into the thus-formed cavities.
4. The method of claim 1 including the step of providing slots in the sides of said hollow tooth form before it is filled with said dental restorative material in paste form such that the tooth form filled with the restorative material may be forced over the bar and into snug-abutting relationship with the gum.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein said end of said bar is secured within said cavity by filling said cavity with a dental restorative material.
6. The method of claim 5 wherein said dental restorative material comprises a resin-bonded quartz composite.
7. Dental bridge comprising a tooth form molded from a resin-bonded quartz composite and having extending through the center of the molded tooth form a bar with at least one end adapted for insertion into a cavity in an adjacent tooth.
8. The dental bridge of claim 7 wherein said bar is provided with radial projections which prevent rotation of said molded tooth form on the bar.
9. The dental bridge of claim 8 wherein said projections are also on the end of said bar inserted into said cavity, and including filling material holding said end within the cavity.
10. The dental bridge of claim 8 wherein said bar is formed from an alloy having as an essential alloying constituent at least one metal selected from the group consisting of platinum, cobalt, chromium, copper, gold, tin and zinc.
11. A spanning bar for holding a dental prosthesis in place between two living teeth comprising a metallic bar formed from material which will not corrode in the mouth and having ends adapted for insertion into cavities drilled into teeth on either side of a space to be occupied by a bridge, and radial projections on said bar for preventing rotation of the bar within a filling material inserted into said cavities and surrounding the bar in said space to form a false tooth form.
12. The method of claim 1 including the step of forming on said metallic bar before it is inserted into the thus-formed cavity a plurality of radial projections extending transverse to the bar and substantially along its entire length.
13. A dental prosthesis adapted to be held in place between two living teeth comprising a metallic bar formed from an alloy containing platinum, cobalt and chromium and having ends adapted for insertion into cavities drilled into teeth on either side of a space to be occupied by a bridge, radial projections extending transverse to and essentially along the entire length of said bar, and a resin bonded quartz composite in the form of a tooth surrounding said bar and permanently bonded thereto.
