DENTAL IMPLANT SCREW AND INSTALLATION TOOLS WITH OFFSET DRIVE ANGLE

摘要

A dental component including a universal joint. In one form, the invention relates to a cam screw for fastening a temporary tooth to an implant including a driving component, a sleeve socket and an abutment screw. The driving component extends along a first axis and includes an internal hex opening for removably coupling the standard hex driving tool. The sleeve socket is provided for pivotally coupling to a portion of the driving component. The abutment screw extends along a second axis and portion thereof pivotally couples to the sleeve socket. With the first axis being offset at an angle relative to the second axis, the driving component is configured to provide torque to the abutment screw such that rotary movement about the first axis in turn causes rotary movement about the second axis.
