Abstract

A superstructure is included together with other components in a tooth prosthesis system, by means of which a tooth prosthesis is intended to be applied to a patient in a short application time, for example in one or only a few days. The superstructure (1) is designed with a bearing part (1b) which can cooperate with fixture members, and a tooth-prosthesis-supporting part, and the parts are designed with recesses for said securing members. The bearing part and the tooth-prosthesis-supporting part are integrated over at least most of their horizontal extents by means of the parts being produced from a common blank or a material composition using a treatment or method which gives a user-friendly outer shape and bevels on the unit or superstructure forming the parts.
