  • Patent number: 6120292
    Abstract: A healing cap (100) is distinguished by a bevel (116), particularly in the region to be positioned labially, the bevel being advantageous for conditioning the soft parts, as well as a firm bearing on the associated implant (1), which is achieved by means of a mating shoulder (115) and an adaptable end portion (121) of a pin (120) or a centering bead. An occlusally applicable screw (200) can be mounted in the healing cap (100) beforehand, making it easier to handle. A special protective cap is provided as an intermediate treatment and as a temporary sealing element.
