<p>A connecting structure for connecting a dental prosthesis to a base component, said dental prosthesis defining a crown section, a neck section and a root section, said base component having at least one base recess formed therein for receiving said root section, said connecting structure comprising a membrane made of a resilient membrane material; said membrane being configured and sized so as to be fittingly mountable over said root section of said dental prosthesis; said membrane having a membrane thickness; said resilient membrane material and said membrane thickness being such that when said root section with said membrane mounted thereon are fittingly inserted in said base recess, said membrane allows said prosthesis structure to move from a first position to a second position in response to a pressure applied thereon and said membrane resiliently biases said prosthesis structure from said second position to said first position when said pressure is released.</p> |
