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.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an implant system for implantation into a zygomatic bone. The implant system forms a dental substructure and comprises an apical system end and a coronal system end. The coronal system end includes a coronal superstructure interface along a superstructure interface axis for supporting a dental superstructure, wherein the implant system has a length in a range of 30 mm to 60 mm and includes at least two components.

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).

Abstract: Method and system for implanting an implant (20, 130) in a bone (12) is provided. An osteotomy (10) having a first transverse cross-sectional shape is formed in a bone (12). An implant (20, 130) having a second transverse cross-sectional shape is inserted into the osteotomy (10), the transverse cross-sectional shape of the implant (20, 130) being different from the transverse cross-sectional shape of the osteotomy (10). The invention further relates to a preparation tool (100) for forming a non-circular cavity (10) in bone tissue (12). The preparation tool (100) comprises a proximal portion (102) and a distal portion (104). The distal portion (104) has a main body (106) and at least one bone removing element (108). At least apart of the at least one bone removing element (108) extends radially outward beyond an outer circumference of the main body (106). Moreover, the invention relates to a kit comprising the preparation tool (100) and an implant (130), such as a dental implant.

Abstract: An intramedullary pin for insertion into the medullary space of the femur through the lateral compacta of the trochanter major. The pin has a proximal pin section and an adjoining distal pin section. Each pin section includes one or more bores for one or more bone screws. The proximal pin section has at least one bore running obliquely to the longitudinal axis, so that bone screws can be inserted through the bore into the head of the femur, or a screw can be inserted in the antegrade direction through the bore. The distal pin section is at least partly straight and the proximal pin section has a curvature in the lateral-posterior direction.

Abstract: A curved positioning and insertion instrument for inserting a guide wire into the femur has a curved guide tube with a distal end to be placed on the trochanter and/or the medial muscle and a proximal end for inserting a guide wire. The instrument also has a holding arm that links the guide tube to a handle. A positioning hook fitted with at least one correction bore for receiving the guide wire or another guide wire is arranged at the distal end of the guide tube. This structure makes it possible to easily insert further or additional guide wires relative to a reference guide wire.
