Dental Framework

摘要

A dental framework has an integral body with an elongated, serpentine shape framework support extending substantially the length of the body. Uniquely designed dental crown receiving abutments each have a lower section with a larger average diameter than an upper section. This creates an adhesive receiving space between the abutments and the dental crowns which are installed on them. The abutments are also positioned such that gum composite material utilized following the installation of the framework and dental crowns can be inserted between adjacent abutments and the crowns to enhance the ultimate appearance of the mouth. A series of composite attaching spikes extend downward from the framework to ensure the framework remains secured within the composite material which is utilized.
