ABSTRACT:
The denture construction for anchoring an artificial tooth in a person's mouth comprises an anchoring member which is adapted to be fixed in the mouth and which has a bore therethrough with an intermediate small diameter bore portion and an outwardly tapered bore portion on each end. The substantially cylindrical pin having an outer edge which is threaded into a U-shaped plate which is affixed to a recess in the bottom surface of an artificial tooth, has an intermediate small diameter pin bore and the bore is widened outwardly toward each end. The end of the pin which is not affixed to the tooth plate is advantageously spherically formed and has a wider end than the small diameter bore portion. The pin is provided with a transverse slot to permit the portions on each side of the slot to be sprung together so as to permit the pin to be inserted through the small diameter bore portion of the anchoring member. Exterior surfaces on each end of both the anchoring member and the pin are advantageously spherically formed so as to permit smooth rolling engagement between the parts when the tooth is subjected to stresses which would place the surface of the pin in contact with a surface of the anchoring member.
