Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of providing a patient-specific dental fixture-mating arrangement, such as a dental abutment. According to the method, an arrangement is provided which can only be arranged in one rotational position with respect to a fixture in the jawbone of a patient. The arrangement is designed based on the orientation and inclination of the fixture relative to the jawbone. The invention also relates to a dental implant arrangement, comprising a dental fixture and a final dental restoration having mating indexing means.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a dental component, which can only be connected in one indexing position in one type of dental fixture, but in any one of a plurality of indexing positions with another type of dental fixture. The dental component is provided with primary projections which are not completely evenly distributed around the circumference of an engagement portion of the dental component. The invention also relates to a dental fixture, a dental implant assembly and a dental implant system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a screw implant (1) for insertion into a bore hole (50) arranged in bone tissue, said implant having a cancellous portion (3), and a cortical portion (2) having an axial length such that, when installed in the bore hole (50), the engagement of said cortical portion (2) with the bone tissue will generally be confined to the cortical bone tissue layer (52). Said cortical portion (2) presents an outer surface which is threaded for accomplishing said engagement, and has an outer design such that, when being screwed into said bore hole under action of a screwing torque, said cortical portion (2) acts so as to increase the compression of the cortical bone tissue only, in essentially radial directions of the implant, resulting in a distinct increase of the screwing torque needed for screwing the implant (1). Said increase is usable as an indication that the implant (1) is in place or nearly in place in the bore hole.

Abstract: The invention relates to a package (1) for a device (2), particularly an implant. The package (1) comprises a protective housing (3) and a device holder (4) arranged to support the device (2). The device holder (4) is connected to the protective housing (3) for movement in relation thereto between a device storage position and a device removal position. The package (1) is further provided with guide means (5) defining a predetermined path (6) for said movement of the device holder (4) in relation to said protective housing (3), said predetermined path (6) being arranged so that the device (2), when supported by the device holder (4), is kept apart from the protective housing (3).
