PCT No. PCT/NL91/00087 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 21, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 21, 1993 PCT Filed May 29, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO92/02191 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 20, 1992.A device for attaching a member that replaces a part of a set of teeth, wherein the device has a pin to be implanted in a jawbone and a coupling pin with a ball-and-socket joint disposed between the coupling pin and the implantation pin. The ball and/or the socket of the joint is made of a memory material. The memory position is such that at body temperature pivotal motion of the ball-and-socket joint can simply be brought into a desired position. Thus, the coupling pin can be brought into any desired position, virtually independently of the orientation of the implantation pin in the jaw, so that the dental-replacement member can be fitted readily without any tension arising therein.
