Abstract
A tooth replacement system is provided that includes an implant (10, 20, 30), for osseointegration in a jaw bone, and an abutment (40, 50, 60), wherein an abutment stem (41) including a close-fit cylinder (42) can be fitted in a corresponding cylindrical close-fit seat (14) of a receiving opening (11) in the implant. The present invention makes available a tooth replacement system including an implant and an abutment, which ensures an optimized introduction of force from the abutment into the implant and permits complete freedom in terms of the choice of material. The implant and also the abutment can be made from titanium or ceramic, and both structural parts can be used in all possible material combinations. This permits the insertion or adhesive bonding of ceramic abutments into implants made from titanium oxide or other metallic materials.
