Abstract
An abutment-mount for a dental implant terminates at one end in an anti-rotation member. The abutment-mount includes a body member having an longitudinal axis and includes a first end and an opposite second end. The first end defines an engagement member that is complementary in shape to the anti-rotation member of the dental implant. A prismatic portion extends from the second end of the body member along the longitudinal axis. The prismatic portion has a plurality of sides, with each side being parallel to the longitudinal axis. The body portion and the prismatic portion define a longitudinal opening passing therethrough that is coaxial with the longitudinal axis.
