  • Patent number: 11490997
    Abstract: 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?).

  • Publication number: 20170202649
    Abstract: Provisional prosthetic systems and methods of coupling such provisional prosthetic systems to a dental implant are disclosed. The provisional prosthetic system can include at least one dental component having a provisional connection feature and a prosthesis. A clinician can couple the prosthesis to the dental component using a bonding agent. The clinician can then drill a hole through the prosthesis. The hole can be configured to receive a fastener to securely fasten the prosthesis and dental component to the implant.
