Abstract
The significant inventive measure of the arrangement for connecting an implant (1) to the conical secondary part (800) consists in the fact that a radially encircling shoulder part (860) is provided on the conical pillar (830), which shoulder part bears, in the form of an circular ring and partially, on the implant shoulder (14), while the remaining surface on the implant shoulder (14) is covered by the mating shoulder (301) of the impression cap (300) or the crown cap. The shoulder part (860) and the mating shoulders (301) are of complementary configuration to the implant shoulder (14). The connection arrangement can be used in particular in conjunction with a novel plug connection. Further advantages consist in the higher precision in dentistry work which can be achieved without any increased production outlay.
