METHOD FOR IMPROVING RETENTION PROPERTIES OF DENTAL BRIDGE HAVING SINGLE-SIDE ANCHORAGE Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: method involves producing an opening of diameter reaching 2 mm with diamond or hard alloy bore in adhesive cover after preparing abutment tooth and prosthesis or widening already available perforation also to diameter of 2 mm. The prosthesis is set on the abutment tooth and place is marked for creating and directing pin-canal in the area of cutting one-third of the frontal abutment tooth or in the lateral abutment tooth equator area. The pin-canal direction is to correspond to path for introducing the prosthesis. The pin is screwed-in with screwdriver and holder to a depth of about 2 mm into dentin. The prosthesis is set on the abutment for making control. The pin is filed-off to adhesive cover layer after having fixed the prosthesis on composition cement.

EFFECT: prolonged service life; high functional value.
