A HEALING ABUTMENT, A SCREW AND A METHOD

摘要

A healing abutment for arrangement to a dental implant, provided with a bore, has a surface abutting the implant and a first compressible sealing integrally made with said surface. The healing abutment has a through channel ending at said surface and is shaped in such way that a shoulder is formed inside said channel, and has a second sealing integrally made with said shoulder. Each sealing is made of the same material as the healing abutment. According to a second embodiment, the healing abutment has a screw shaped protrusion, provided with a recess, for insertion into the bore of the implant. A screw for fastening a healing abutment to a dental implant, having a bore, has a head with an abutment surface and a stem and has a first compressible sealing integrally made with said abutment surface. According to a second embodiment of the screw, the stem is shaped in such way that a shoulder is formed and a second sealing is integrally made with said shoulder. Each sealing is made of the same material as the screw. The stem has an external longitudinal recess. A method is provided for fastening a healing abutment, having a surface with a first compressible sealing, and a through channel, having a shoulder with a second compressible sealing, by using a screw, having an abutment surface with at least one compressible sealing, on an implant with a bore. The healing abutment is arranged on the implant in such way that the first sealing is abutting the implant, and the channel of the healing abutment is arranged over the bore. The screw is inserted into said channel, in such way that the abutment surface of the screw is abutting the shoulder of the channel, and into said bore. The healing abutment is fastened to the implant by screwing the screw while the first sealing of the screw is cooperating with the second sealing of the healing abutment during compression of each sealing, and until the first sealing of the healing abutment is compressed against the implant.
