Abstract
A distance member is designed so as to make possible a cemented superstructure in the jaw and can be fastened to the implant in the jaw by means of a screw member. The distance member has a prefabricated external shape which is individually adapted to the respective dental situation in question for the purpose of rendering unnecessary substantial shape modification work in connection with construction of the superstructure in the jaw. The prefabricated shape has a shelf-shaped projecting part located between the upper and lower parts of the distance member and the distance member is designed with an internal counterholder which prevents torque being transmitted from the tool to the implant.
