Method of manufacturing a dental superstructure
A dental superstructure, and a manufacturing method thereof, comprising a screw-channel ( 1 ), through which screw-channel a screw member is to be inserted, and a screw member seat ( 3 ), for providing support to the head of said screw member during fixation of said dental superstructure to a spacer element or an implant ( 5 ), are provided. Said dental superstructure is provided with a central axis of said screw-channel ( 1 ) and a central axis of said second mouth ( 4 ) that at least partly do not coincide. A manufacturing method thereof, a screw-member, and a screwdriver are also provided.
1. A method of manufacturing a dental superstructure comprising a screw-channel with a first mouth, a screw member seat with a second mouth, wherein the screw member seat provides support to a head of a screw member when the screw member extends through the second mouth to fix said dental superstructure to a spacer element or an implant, wherein a communication is provided between said first mouth and said second mouth, the method comprising:
drilling said communication to form at least one central axis of said screw-channel and a central axis of said second mouth, wherein the at least one central axis of said screw-channel and the central axis of said second mouth do not coincide,
wherein said drilling comprises drilling a first straight bore from a first point, and drilling a second straight bore from a second point, such that said first bore and said second bore intersect in an interior of said superstructure to form said communication, and
wherein said drilling comprises drilling a third bore using said first bore and said second bore as guides, said third bore drilled using a drill bit with a cutting surface of a sufficient diameter to create said screw-channel through which said screw member is passed in order to attach said dental superstructure to said spacer element or said implant.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the drilling of said first bore and the drilling of said second bore comprises drilling with a twist drill providing a diameter sufficient for receiving a threaded part of said screw member.
