==Direct-Snap Dental Abutment Systems - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240325123 titled 'Direct-Snap Dental Abutment Systems

'''Simplified Explanation:'''
This patent application describes dental assemblies and methods that involve snap-fitting a denture or other dental prosthesis to a patient's jaw. The method eliminates the need for bonding a metal housing or casing to the dental prosthesis.

'''Key Features and Innovation:'''
* Snap-fitting a denture or dental prosthesis to a patient's jaw.
* Anchoring an implant to the jaw and screwing an abutment to the implant.
* Creating a pocket in the dental prosthesis for the head of the abutment to snap into.
* Using a polymeric cap to couple the abutment's head to the pocket.
* Creating the pocket based on coordinate data from a CT or intraoral scanner using CNC milling or 3D printing.

'''Potential Applications:'''
This technology can be used in various dental procedures involving dentures and dental prostheses.

'''Problems Solved:'''
This technology eliminates the need for bonding a metal housing or casing to the dental prosthesis, simplifying the process and potentially reducing costs.

'''Benefits:'''
* Simplifies the process of attaching dentures or dental prostheses to a patient's jaw.
* Potentially reduces costs by eliminating the need for additional materials.
* Provides a secure and stable attachment for dental prostheses.

'''Commercial Applications:'''
Potential commercial applications include dental clinics, prosthodontic practices, and dental laboratories that specialize in creating and fitting dental prostheses.

'''Questions about Dental Assemblies and Methods:'''
1. How does this technology improve the process of attaching dental prostheses?
2. What are the potential cost-saving benefits of using this snap-fitting method?

'''Frequently Updated Research:'''
There may be ongoing research in the field of dental prosthetics and attachment methods that could impact the development and implementation of this technology.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

example dental assemblies and methods involve snap-fitting a denture or other dental prosthesis to a patient's jaw. in some examples, an implant is anchored to the jaw, an abutment is screwed to the implant, and a head of the abutment snaps directly into a pocket created in the dental prosthesis. in some examples, a polymeric cap couples the abutment's head to the pocket. based on coordinate data from a ct or intraoral scanner, the pocket can be created by cnc milling or 3d printing. the method eliminates the need for bonding a metal housing or casing to the dental prosthesis.
