Abstract
A temporary dental prosthesis (60) which can be placed before, after or simultaneously with the placement of permanent implant i securely and accurately fixed to mounting assemblies (58). Each mounting assembly (58) has a combination implant/abutment member (10) screwed into a bore formed in the cortical bone with a smooth convex basal portion (12) received in a complimentary shaped recess formed at the entrance of the bore. A coping (30) is received on the head (16) of the combined implant/abutment member (10) and retained there by a pin (50) having a threaded portion (56) received in a threaded bore (24). The copings (30) and pins (50) are received in oversized bores formed in a blank temporary prosthesis and resin is injected around the copings and pins to secure the copings to the prosthesis at locations corresponding to the positions of the combined implant/abutment members (10).
