Sliding connection for tooth prosthesis

摘要

The sliding connection is used to connect a tooth prosthesis to a tooth which has an anchoring piece (11) connected to it. The anchoring piece can be a male or female part of a two part snap fit connection. On the tooth prosthesis is a housing (4) which forms the second part of the two part connection. On the housing is a retaining cut-out (20) and on the anchoring piece is an elastic jointed retaining projection (18) which engages into the cut-out on the housing. The anchoring piece together with a stamp (6) portrays a U-form cross section, where the retaining projection is located on the upper free end of a web (14) on the anchoring piece's side.
