  • Arrangement comprising an abutment post and an appurtenant cap, as well as a tool for application of the cap
    Patent number: 11344389
    Abstract: An arrangement for mounting to a dental implant and a tool for use therewith. The arrangement includes an abutment post connected to a conical cap. The abutment post has a conical section with a conical outer surface configured to be complementary to a conical inner surface of a conical recess of the conical cap in such a manner that the conical cap can be placed on the conical section so as to at least partially receive the conical section in its conical recess. The inner surface of the conical cap and the outer surface of the abutment post are inclined relative to one another in such a manner that the conical cap can be connected to the abutment post by friction locking between the inner surface and the outer surface. The conicity of the conical section differs from the conicity of the conical recess.
