Abstract
A dental implant system that can include a prosthetic assembly and a dental implant. The prosthetic assembly can include a dental component and a retention screw. The dental component and the retention screw each have interference elements that are configured to engage when a removal torque is applied to the screw. When the interference element engage each other, a portion of the removal torque is converted into a linear force that is exerted on the dental component in a removal direction thereby separating the dental component from the dental implant.
