ABUTMENT, IN PARTICULAR FOR USE WITH A DENTAL IMPLANT INSERTED INTO THE JAW BONE OF A PATIENT, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE ABUTMENT

摘要

An abutment (1′, 1″, 1′″), in particular for use with a dental implant inserted into the jaw bone of a patient, comprising a connecting pin (4) that can be introduced into an associated receiving channel of the dental implant, a screw channel (8) for a connecting screw (10, 10′) provided for connecting the abutment (1′, 1″, 1′″) to the dental implant being integrated into the connecting pin, should have a particularly high degree of stressability and thus also a long service life. To achieve this, according to the invention, the inner diameter of the screw channel (8) over its entire length up to the opening (34) on the end face is at least as large as the diameter of the screw head (30) of the connecting screw (10, 10′), and a plastically deformed retaining element (44), which is introduced into the screw channel (8) after the connecting screw (10, 10′), is provided in order to support the connecting screw (10, 10′).
