Abstract
The device (75) for holding and/or creating a dental prosthesis comprises an implant (1) with an axis (3) and with a metal main body (50) which forms at least a large part of an anchoring part (5) intended to be anchored in a bone (71) and has an axial hole (35). A ceramic body (60) or covering is also connected nonreleasably and directly to the main body (50). A metal metal [sic] bolt (80) which can be secured in the hole (35) of the main body (50) protrudes into a blind hole (91) of a ceramic body (90) which is rigidly and nonreleasably secured on the bolt (80) and covers the end of same directed away from the main body (50), and if necessary can be ground after insertion into the mouth of a patient and permits rapid and simple impression-taking.
