Profiling Method of Side Mill for Threading Screw for Dental Implants

In this paper, it is analyzed, in a comparative way, two methods for profiling disc tools (mills or grinding wheels) for generation of specific threads used in the construction of the prosthetic screw for dental implants. It is proposed an analytical method, based on the fundamental theorem of the surfaces enveloping versus a graphical method, developed in CATIA. They are presented numerical examples for the both methods.
