Abstract:
A gum adjusting and shaping device, comprising:an abutments of implanted tooth for connecting to an artificial implant previously implanted in a tooth socket bone above an extracted tooth; and an outer die for expanding and shaping an area of gum to where a desired artificial tooth is to be mounted; said outer die being a short cylindrical member having an inner space vertically extended through a full length of said outer die, at least two radially inward projected ribs being longitudinally and equally spaced along a peripheral wall that defines the inner space, and a rear end of said outer die facing toward the gum to be shaped being tapered to form a truncated cone; and said abutments of implanted tooth having an inner space vertically extended through a full length thereof, a rear end of the inner space of said abutment facing toward the gum to be shaped being reduced in diameter to provide a stepped surface, against which a cap screw extended into the inner space of said abutment is abutted before projecting from a rear end of said abutments of implanted tooth to engage with the artificial implant; said abutments of implanted tooth having a length corresponding to a length of the inner space of said outer die, and having an inclined outer peripheral wall on which at least two curve-bottomed grooves are formed, the grooves being longitudinally and equally spaced corresponding to said ribs in the inner space of said outer die; and a rear portion of said abutments of implanted tooth being shaped into a round tube that is adapted to tightly fit in the inner space of said outer die.
