Abstract

A link to be inserted between a dental implant in a jaw and an artificial tooth, comprising a first screw bolt for fastening the link on the dental implant, and a head portion in the form of a second screw bolt for fastening a tooth holding sleeve. The screw bolts are formed as a unitary one-piece construction, where the mutual angular orientation of both screw bolts is adapted to the jaw, on the one hand, and to the orientation of the artificial tooth, on the other hand.
