The present disclosure relates to an apparatus of attaching a dental component having an angulated screw channel to a dental implant. The present disclosure also relates to a dental component having an angulated screw channel and a metal adapter.

Apparatus for attaching a dental component to a dental implant

The invention relates to an adapter (') for attaching a dental superstructure () to a dental implant (). The adapter (&#x2032;) comprises a coronal attachment portion (&#x2032;) for attaching the adapter (&#x2032;) to the dental superstructure (), an apical attachment portion () for attaching the adapter (&#x2032;) to the dental implant () and an intermediate portion () arranged between the coronal attachment portion (&#x2032;) and the apical attachment portion (). The apical attachment portion () is a protrusion defining an apical end portion of the adapter (&#x2032;) and configured to be received in a corresponding recess () of the dental implant (). The protrusion is rotationally symmetric, so that the adapter (&#x2032;) is rotatable relative to the dental implant () in the state of attachment of the adapter (&#x2032;) to the dental implant (). Further, the invention relates to a dental assembly comprising the dental superstructure () and at least one such adapter (&#x2032;).

Adapter for attaching a dental superstructure to a dental implant and dental assembly comprising the adapter

The invention relates to a screw and corresponding screw driver for driving the screw into a dental implant at an angle from the longitudinal axis of the implant. The screw has a polygonal interface and the screw driver has a matching interface for driving the screw to rotate.

Screw and driver tool

The present invention relates to a method of attaching a dental component having an angulated screw channel to a dental implant. The present invention also relates to a dental component having an angulated screw channel and a metal adapter.

Method of attaching a dental component to a dental implant

The present invention relates to an abutment (), comprising: a ceramic part (); and a metal adapter () removably attachable to the ceramic part, wherein the metal adapter has a conical connection interface () for attachment to a dental implant (). The present invention also relates to a method of attaching an abutment () to a dental implant ().

Abutment and method of attaching an abutment to a dental implant

The present invention relates to a dental component () for attachment to a dental implant (), wherein the dental component comprises: a component body () including at least one concave recess (); and a metal adapter () removably attachable to the component body, wherein the metal adapter includes at least one convex lobe () adapted to abut against the at least one concave recess in the component body for preventing rotation between the component body and the metal adapter, and wherein said at least one convex lobe extends apically of an apical end () of the component body when the metal adapter is attached to the component body.
