Described herein is an impression taker for capturing an impression of preparation cut in abutment teeth, the impression taker comprising； a rigid body supporting a first arm and a second arm, the first arm having a first longitudinal end configured to take an impression of a preparation cut in a first abutment tooth； the second arm having a second longitudinal end configured to take an impression in a second abutment tooth. Also described is a reinforcement combination for supporting a dental bridge, the reinforcement combination comprising: an elongate proximal bar comprising: a central planar pad, a first insertion arm extending in a mesial direction from the perimeter of the pad, a second insertion arm extending in a distal direction from the perimeter of the pad, a first mating surface formed on the first insertion arm and a second mating surface formed on the second insertion arm； a third mating surface formed on a first elongate torque bar, the first mating surface and the third mating surface having complimentary shapes； and a fourth mating surface formed on a second elongate torque bar, the second mating surface and the fourth mating surface having complimentary shapes. Also described is an elongate proximal bar for supporting a dental bridge, the elongate proximal bar comprising: a central planar pad, a first insertion arm extending in a mesial direction from the perimeter of the pad, a second insertion arm extending in a distal direction from the perimeter of the pad； and a plurality of friction- enhancing surface features formed on the proximal bar, the plurality of friction-enhancing surface features providing a plurality of flat surfaces oriented at a non-parallel angle with a longitudinal axis of the proximal bar.. Method of use of the impression taker and the reinforcement bar combination to produce a direct dental bridge is also described.La présente invention concerne un dispositif de prise d'empreinte pour capturer une empreinte de découpe de prép
