Abutment position locator

摘要

The present application relates to a fitting for insertion into a dental implant in an insertion orientation defining a central insertion axis (X) and an insertion direction (D) of the fitting. The fitting includes at least one resilient spring member being expandable perpendicularly to the insertion axis (X) of the fitting for impeding a movement of the fitting relative to the dental implant along the insertion axis (X) when inserted into the dental implant. It further includes an alignment feature for rotationally aligning the fitting relative to the dental implant about the insertion axis (X). The alignment feature can extend further in the insertion direction (D) than the spring member.

1. Fitting for insertion into a dental implant in an insertion orientation defining a central insertion axis and an insertion direction of the fitting, comprising:
a body portion; at least one resilient spring member extending from a distal end of the body portion towards the insertion direction; and an alignment feature extending from the distal end of the body portion towards the insertion direction, the alignment feature configured to rotationally align the fitting relative to the dental implant about the insertion axis, the alignment feature including a closed structure and at least one opening, wherein the alignment feature extends distally beyond a distal end of the at least one resilient spring member, wherein one of the at least one spring member is disposed in the at least one opening of the alignment feature.
