The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a tooth prosthesis, for insertion in a jawbone, including an implant and an abutment on top of the implant. The method includes: defining a shape of the prosthesis and its location in the jawbone by using first data from a first CT scan image of the jawbone and second data from a second image of a gypsum cast, correlating first and second data by extracting from the first data first position reference data of a first reference in the first image, and from the second data second position reference data of a second reference in the second image, the second reference being identical to the first reference; performing a geometric transformation on the second data and/or the first data to have a coincidence of the second image with the first image and to combine the first and second data into composite scan data.

An implant comprising two internal anti-rotational features. One anti-rotational feature is adapted to engage a driving tool, while the other anti-rotational feature is adapted to engage an abutment. An implant abutment system is provided with an angled abutment adapted to mate with one of the anti-rotational features. A second, straight abutment is adapted to engage with the other anti-rotational feature. An abutment is provided with resilient fingers to interface with the implant and provide tactile and audible feedback indicating when the abutment is properly seated. An abutment screw extends through the abutment and engages the implant bore distal of the stem of the abutment. The abutment screw limits axial movement of the abutment relative to the implant. A driving tool comprising one of at least retention structure and visual alignment indicia is provided to facilitate screwing the implant into a patient's bone.

Surface mapping and/or generation device is provided, with a device for mapping 3D data of at least one denture base object such as a tooth stump or an implantation abutment, and an environment thereof, as well as with a device for the data-based generation and production of a denture part incorporating the 3D data of the denture base object. Additionally provided are a device for determining and/or defining a placement direction of the denture part that is to be slipped onto the denture base object, and a device for determining and producing a primary part that is to be slipped onto the denture base object before the denture part and that yields a desired placement direction for the denture part which is different from the placement direction that exists for slipping the primary part onto the denture base object. The device for data-based generation and production of a denture part is designed to generate and produce the latter by incorporating the 3D data of the primary part. Surface mapping and/or generation method is provided, wherein 3D data from a denture base object such as a tooth stump or an implantation abutment and an environment thereof are mapped and then, based on this 3D data of the denture base object, a denture part to be slipped thereon is produced. Before production of the denture part, a placement direction of the denture part onto the denture base object is determined or defined. On the basis of this 3D data of the denture base object, a primary part is determined and produced, with which a desired placement direction that differs from the placement direction that exists for slipping the primary part onto the denture base object is created for the denture part. On the basis of the 3D data, the denture part is generated and produced based on data so as to fit when pushed onto the primary part.

An abutment clip for use in a dental implant system for orienting an abutment relative to features on a patient's teeth and jawbone so that a prosthesis, which is attachable to the abutment, will be correctly oriented. The abutment clip comprises a housing that includes a chamber sized to receive the abutment therein. The housing has at least one position indicator provided at one end thereof. The dentist engages the abutment clip over the abutment when it is still attached to a manufacturer's plaster model.

Molds for fabrication of custom and potentially modifiable abutments and impression posts for dental implants with various degrees of angulations (including zero degrees) and various dimensions are provided, with a generally oval shape that expands laterally upwards, a symmetrical or asymmetrical cross-section, and regular surfaces, that are fabricated as one piece, or as two coupling pieces snapping onto each other. Custom abutments achieve the development of a custom gingival emergence profile, three dimensionally, which is potentially modifiable according to the needs of each particular clinical case. Custom impression posts that correspond in dimensions and angulations to the abutments allow the accurate recording and transfer of the developed gingival emergence profile from the mouth onto the working cast, where the final implant prosthesis is fabricated. Custom abutments and impression posts have properties and design that allows their preparation and usage as temporary abutments for the cementation and support of temporary prostheses.
