Abstract
Impression cap for a dental implant, with a recess (8) extending in the longitudinal direction between two end areas (4, 6) of the impression cap. The recess is configured in such a way that it can receive a fastening element, which is intended to connect the impression cap to the dental implant via a first of the two end areas (4). The impression cap, at its second end area (6) remote from the first end area, has a connection element that is configured in such a way as to produce a releasable snap-fit connection between the impression cap and the dental implant.
