Publication number: 20170340417Abstract: A method for mounting a dental restoration includes advancing an implant engaging portion of an abutment into an opening in a dental implant. The implant engaging portion is integrally formed with a component supporting portion terminating in a coronal end of the abutment. With the abutment in mating engagement with the implant, the method also includes advancing a temporary coping in a coronal direction over the component supporting portion of the abutment. During the advancing of the coping, the method further includes snap-fitting at least one first snap-fit retention feature on an outer peripheral surface of the component supporting portion with at least one second snap-fit retention feature integral with an interior surface of the temporary coping. The at least one first snap-fit retention feature is located at an axial location along the component supporting portion proximate to a location where the implant engaging portion meets the component supporting portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2017Publication date: November 30, 2017Applicant: AETON MEDICAL LLCInventors: Stephen HOGAN, Anatoli KRIVORUK, Roger S.
