The invention relates to an adapter (1, 1′) for attaching a dental superstructure (50) to a dental implant (30). The adapter (1, 1′) comprises a coronal attachment portion (2, 2′) for attaching the adapter (1, 1′) to the dental superstructure (50), an apical attachment portion (4) for attaching the adapter (1, 1′) to the dental implant (30) and an intermediate portion (6) arranged between the coronal attachment portion (2, 2′) and the apical attachment portion (4). The apical attachment portion (4) is a protrusion defining an apical end portion of the adapter (1, 1′) and configured to be received in a corresponding recess (32) of the dental implant (30). The protrusion is rotationally symmetric, so that the adapter (1, 1′) is rotatable relative to the dental implant (30) in the state of attachment of the adapter (1, 1′) to the dental implant (30). Further, the invention relates to a dental assembly comprising the dental superstructure (50) and at least one such adapter (1, 1′).

A two part modelling aid for connection to a dental implant component including a hollow base part and a hollow angled part, each including a tubular side wall extending between apical and coronal ends. The base part side wall includes an anti-rotation section including a non-circular symmetric cross-section in a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the base part. The angled part side wall forms an apical portion that extends along a first axis and is sized and shaped to form a friction fit with the base part, and a coronal portion extending along a second axis non-coaxial to the first axis. When connected, a closed channel is formed extending from the base part to the angled part, and the first axis of the apical portion is coaxial to the longitudinal axis of the base part and the anti-rotation section is exposed on a base part surface.

Disclosed are a fixture for a dental implant and an implant system comprising the same. The implant system of the present inventive concept comprises: a first fixture having a first body part and a first continuous screw part which is formed in a spiral around the outer circumferential surface of the first body part and is formed continuously without a break; and a second fixture having a second body part that is identical to the first body part, and a second continuous screw part which is formed in a spiral around the outer circumferential surface of the second body part and which has an outer diameter that differs from that of the first continuous screw part. The present inventive concept allows implant operations to be carried out in a more straightforward fashion than hitherto since, even if initial fixture placement fails, a subsequent fixture can be placed straight away without any further drilling work.

A dental implant assembly containing an integrally-formed universal abutment which has a top section, a bottom section integrally joined to the top section, and a passageway extending through these sections. The passageway is formed by different size bores, initially a larger size than decrease in size. The top section of the abutment has a cross-sectional shape substantially like a polygon; the shape is formed by alternating linear and arcuate walls joining to a bottom section having a cross-sectional shape substantially like a polygon.

A dental attachment assembly is provided, including an abutment member and a male member. The abutment member may include an outer locating surface portion having at least two axially spaced retention portions having two generally rounded, annular projections. The male member for engagement over the outer locating surface of the abutment member may include an upper end and a continuous, unbroken skirt having a rounded, convex outer surface. The male member may be constructed from a rigid material and have at least two axially spaced, snap engaging formations on the inner surface of the skirt for snap engagement with the respective retention portions of the abutment member.

A bone coupling device is configured for joining a first bone piece to a second bone piece which includes a first component having an inner surface bounding a first cavity and a first stem portion for insertion into the first bone piece. A second component includes a second stem portion for insertion into the second bone piece and an axially extending connector extending from the second stem portion and configured to be inserted into the first cavity. The connector has an outer surface which is complementarily shaped relative to an inner surface to inhibit rotation relative to each other when the connector is received in the cavity to engage the first component and the second component.

The present invention relates to an anchoring system for attaching a prosthesis to a human body, comprising: an anchoring element, an abutment, an abutment screw for attaching the abutment to the anchoring element, the anchoring element comprises a connection area for the abutment, the connection area comprising a press-fit portion such that the abutment is attached to the anchoring element in the connection area by a press-fit connection, wherein the connection area comprises an anti-rotation geometry and the abutment comprising a corresponding mating anti-rotation geometry proximal to the press-fit portion, and where in the connection area comprises a conical portion proximal to the anti-rotational geometry forming a mating geometry for a corresponding conical portion in the through-hole of the abutment.

According to some embodiments of the invention there is provided a dental measuring assembly comprising: an elongated stem defining a longitudinal axis between a proximal end and a distal end of the stem; a measuring abutment configured to be received over the proximal end of said stem and to axially slide over the stem; wherein a distal segment of the stem comprises scale markings denoting a height of a distal end of the measuring abutment relative to the stem. In some embodiments, a plurality of measuring abutments are provided, each abutment defining a different angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the stem.

A dental implant for an implant system includes an internal implant-sided arrangement area, wherein the implant-sided arrangement area is configured to contact an abutment at least in sections, wherein the implant-sided arrangement area has an implant-sided conical section, wherein the implant-sided conical section comprises implant-sided anti-rotation structures, wherein the implant extends in a longitudinal direction, and wherein the implant-sided anti-rotation structures are configured such that they positively prevent or can prevent a rotation of the abutment about the longitudinal direction relative to the implant.

A narrow diameter dental implant with multi-unit abutment is surgically inserted for osseointegration into the jawbone of a patient, in order to attach a crown or tooth prosthetic. The dental implant includes an implant shaft, a threading extrusion, and an attachment abutment. The implant shaft is inserted within the jawbone during osseointegration surgery. The threading extrusion is connected along the implant shaft in order to secure the dental implant within the jawbone. The attachment abutment is connected to the implant shaft, such that the attachment abutment extrudes out from the patient's gum. Therefore, the attachment abutment is accessible for the dentist to attach a crown or tooth prosthetic.
