Abutment for a dental implant

Secondary component for connection to a dental implant having an internal bore, said secondary component having a head part and a base part, the head part including a coronal portion which in use protrudes from the dental implant, and, apical of the coronal portion, an attachment portion, the base part including implant connection means for connection to an implant and fastening means, wherein the attachment portion and fastening means can be directly coupled together in a rotatable manner in order to axially join the head and base parts together, while still enabling the base part to be rotated relative to the head part such that the implant connection means can engage the implant and secure the secondary component to this, the head part further including a through passage extending from the coronal portion to the attachment portion and the base part including drive means which, when the head and base parts are coupled together, is in communication with this passage.

Two-part dental component

Transfer element () and a container for a medical instrument or implant, more particularly for a dental implant (). The transfer element () includes an adapter segment () for holding the medical instrument or implant and for attaching the transfer element () to a housing of a container, and also a means for handling the medical instrument or the implant by hand and/or with the aid of an auxiliary tool, and, optionally, a holder segment () arranged on the first end () and connected to the adapter segment (). The adapter segment () has an adapter end region () for detachably holding the medical instrument or implant and a connection section (). The connection section () has connection means that are intended to interact with corresponding connection means of the housing. The means for handling the medical instrument or implant by hand and/or by means of an auxiliary tool are arranged on the connection section () and/or, optionally, on the holder segment ().
