METHOD FOR FASTENING ALVEOLAR PROCESS HAVING ARTIFICIAL TEETH TO OBTURATOR PROSTHESIS IN THE CASES OF COMPLETELY LACKING MAXILLA Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves basic and auxiliary horizontally arranged surfaces joined by means of additional frontal, back and two lateral vertically arranged surfaces with a plane being formed. The frontal and back vertically arranged surfaces have recesses as retention grooves. Reference notches are made in the nose area on auxiliary surface. The alveolar process is manufactured base and wall. The base has reference notches. The wall has openings for reducing process weight. Teeth are mounted on the wall. Three openings arranged as triangle which base is turned towards pharynx are produced in auxiliary surface of the obturator prosthesis. Metal containers having matrices pressed into them are introduced into the openings. Three openings arranged as triangle which base is turned towards pharynx are produced on the base bottom. Pedicles (flow gates) having retention notches are mounted in the openings. Each flow gate ends in patrix engageable with corresponding matrix.

EFFECT: simplified and reliable method for fixing alveolar process.
