  • Patent number: 11246685
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a connection assembly for attaching a dental component to a dental implant, a dental component for the connection assembly and a method to use the connection assembly. The connection assembly (100; 1100; 2100; 3100) is removably attachable to the dental implant (10; 1010; 2010; 3010), preferably with the dental component (20; 1020; 2020; 3020) attached to the connection assembly, and a dental component is attachable to the connection assembly in a pre-fastened state or a fastened state. The pre-fastened state, when the connection assembly is attached to the dental implant, the connection assembly allows for adjustment of a relative position and/or orientation between the dental component and the dental implant.

  • Publication number: 20190247150
    Abstract: The present invention provides a dental component (20; 120) forming the basis for at least a part of a prosthetic dental arch and comprising at least two subcomponents (21, 22; 121, 122) and a connecting device (30; 130) for compensating an offset in position and/or orientation between the subcomponents (21, 22; 121, 122). Each subcomponent (21, 22; 121, 122) includes a mounting portion (25, 26; 125, 126) for mounting the dental component (20; 120) on at least one dental implant or at least one dental implant analogue (11, 12; 111). The connecting device (30; 130) comprises a rotary compensation means (50, 60; 150, 160) that connects the two dental subcomponents (21, 22; 121, 122).
