Tooth Implant
First Claim
1. A dental implant system comprising an implant, a secondary piece which can be secured on the implant in a rotationally fixed manner and onto which a supraconstruction can be mounted, and a positioning tool, said implant having a recess which extends inward from a coronal end face and into which an apical end of the positioning tool can be inserted, the recess having grooves or ribs in the recess which, together with corresponding ribs or grooves at the apical end of the positioning tool that is inserted into the recess, form a stable locking relative to rotations of the positioning tool about an implant axis.

Abstract
A dental implant system, comprising an implant and a secondary piece, which is fixed to the implant such as not to rotate and on which a superior construction may be installed. A positioning tool is also provided, to transfer the position of the implant in the mouth of the patient onto a model. The implant comprises a recess extending inwards from a coronal front side, into which an apical end of the positioning tool may be introduced. Grooves or ribs are embodied in the recess, which together with corresponding ribs or grooves of the apical end of the positioning tool introduced into the recess, form a stable locking relative to a rotation of the positioning tool about an implant axis.

A dental implant system comprising an implant, a secondary piece which can be secured on the implant in a rotationally fixed manner and onto which a supraconstruction can be mounted, and a positioning tool, said implant having a recess which extends inward from a coronal end face and into which an apical end of the positioning tool can be inserted, the recess having grooves or ribs in the recess which, together with corresponding ribs or grooves at the apical end of the positioning tool that is inserted into the recess, form a stable locking relative to rotations of the positioning tool about an implant axis.
- 5. An implant having a recess that extends inward from a coronal end face, and grooves or ribs in the recess for rotationally fixed locking of a positioning tool or secondary piece having ribs or grooves corresponding to said grooves or ribs of the implant.
- 8. A positioning tool for an implant having an apical end that can be inserted into a recess of the implant, the tool having an apical end with ribs or grooves which form a stable locking relative to rotations of the positioning tool about an implant axis when the apical end is inserted into the recess.
