  • 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.

  • Patent number: 10610337
    Abstract: A dental prosthesis, includes a metal framework having at least one cap, which can be joined to an abutment of a dental implant. The metal framework includes a connecting element which can be, or is, joined to the cap in the oral cavity of a patient, in particular by way of welding, soldering or gluing, wherein the cap has a tip and, on the inside, a cavity into which the abutment can be inserted through an opening located opposite the tip. It is the object to refine the dental prosthesis and/or the metal framework so as to allow improved handling and/or facilitated creation of the, in particular intra-oral, preferably welded, joint with low design complexity. This object is attained by providing a pin arranged as an axial extension in the region of the tip of the cap and the connecting element is joined to the pin.
