Abstract
The present invention relates to a placement device for a dental component, a method for handling a dental component with a placement device, a dental component for placement with a placement device and a set comprising a placement device and a dental component. The placement device () for a dental component () is preferably an implant and comprises a proximal end (), a distal end () and a coupling mechanism () for coupling the distal end () to the dental component. The coupling mechanism includes at least one movable pin () having a longitudinal axis (A) and being movable along its longitudinal axis (A) relative to the placement device () for engaging the dental component. It also includes at least one engagement part () at the distal end of the placement device () for engaging the dental component, the engagement part having a longitudinal axis (A). A secure interlock between the dental component and the placement device is achieved by arranging the longitudinal axis (A) of the engagement part () at an angle (α) relative to the longitudinal axis (A) of the movable pin ().
