Abstract: A dental implant (1), in particular for insertion into bone tissue of a patient, comprising: a core body (2) having an apical end (4), a coronal end (6), and an outer surface (8) extending along a longitudinal direction between said apical end (4) and said coronal end (6); and at least one thread (12) located on at least a threaded portion of said outer surface (8), should have superior properties regarding primary and secondary stability.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dental fitting (1, 1?, 101, 101?, 101?) attachable to a dental component (30), such as a dental implant. The dental fitting (1, 1?, 101, 101?, 101?) comprises a main body (2, 2?) and a retention element (4, 104, 104?, 104?) provided apically to the main body (2, 2?). The retention element (4, 104, 104?, 104?) comprises an attachment portion (6, 106, 106?, 106?) for attaching the dental fitting (1, 1?, 101, 101?, 101?) to the dental component (30). The retention element (4, 104, 104?, 104?) has a closed ring shape or an open ring shape in a cross-section perpendicular to the direction from the attachment portion (6, 106, 106?, 106?) towards a coronal end (8) of the main body (2, 2?). The attachment portion (6, 106, 106?, 106?) comprises at least one projection (10, 110, 110?, 110?) extending in one or more directions substantially perpendicular to the direction from the attachment portion (6, 106, 106?, 106?) towards the coronal end (8) of the main body (2, 2?).

Abstract: The invention relates to a retention element (1) for attaching a first dental component (20), such as an abutment, to a second dental component (30), such as a dental implant. The retention element (1) comprises a coronal attachment portion (2) for attaching the retention element (1) to the first dental component (20), and an apical attachment portion (4) for attaching the retention element (1) to the second dental component (30). The retention element (1) is elastically deformable at least in all directions perpendicular to the direction from the apical attachment portion (4) towards the coronal attachment portion (2). The apical attachment portion (4) comprises at least one projection (8) extending in one or more directions substantially perpendicular to the direction from the apical attachment portion (4) towards the coronal attachment portion (2).

Abstract: A system for implantation of a spinal stabilization system includes a vertebral anchor having a top portion. The top portion has a perimeter and a first engaging element. The first engaging element has a first longitudinal axis that is generally parallel to a second longitudinal axis of the top portion. The perimeter extends around the second longitudinal axis. The system also includes a driving tool that has a second engaging element that is configured to cooperate with the first engaging element to substantially restrict rotation of the driving tool relative to the top portion about the second longitudinal axis. The first engaging element is configured to slidably receive the second engaging element in a direction along the first longitudinal axis, and the second engaging element is configured to extend substantially within the perimeter of the top portion.
