Abstract: A system for attaching a dental prosthesis to a dental implant has a first element which is fixedly connectable with the dental implant, a second element which is fixedly connectable with the dental prosthesis, at least one of the elements being provided with elastic means which elastically engage a part of the other of the elements so as to retain the elements together with one another and therefore to fix the dental prosthesis on the dental implant, and a releasing element extending outwardly of the dental prosthesis and actuatable by a user so as to displace the elastically engaging means and disengage the one element from the part of the other element so as to allow easy removal of the one element together with the prosthesis from the other element connected with the dental implant.
