DENTAL IMPLANT, A DENTAL IMPLANT KIT AND A METHOD OF SECURING A DENTAL BRIDGE TO THE JAW OF A PATIENT

摘要

The application relates to an implant for insertion into a structure, a method for connecting a superstructure to the implant, and a kit comprising the implant and a superstructure. The implant comprises a body having an external surface for apposition to bone, an apical end and a coronal end, an insertion interface at the coronal end for engagement with an insertion tool and for inserting the implant in an insertion direction, a connection interface adapted to connect the implant to an connection interface of a superstructure, and a retraction interface for engagement with a retraction member when the superstructure is positioned for connection to the connection interface and being configured for retracting the implant from an applied position in a retraction direction. A gap between the connection interface of the implant and the connection interface of the superstructure may be at least reduced by retracting the implant towards the superstructure.
