ELEMENTO A PIASTRA PER LA FABBRICAZIONE DI UNA PROTESI DENTARIA

The curved plate (20) is used to position and model a malleable material capable of temporarily supporting the incisor and pinless teeth according to positions and orientations that will then be fixed permanently in the prosthesis. The plate has a general U shape, delimited by two parabola-shaped contours: an outer edge (23) and an inner edge (24), respectively corresponding to the contour of the vestibular walls of the incisor and pinless teeth of the prosthesis to be built. The plate features a flat surface (21) on its lower face, and an appendix (25) defining a visible reference point (26) that must correspond to the position of the interincisive papilla (P). The distance (d) between the reference point (26) and an average central point (24a) of the outer edge (23) indicating a position situated between the more vestibular walls of the upper central incisor teeth, is between 8 and 10 mm.
