Abstract:
1. A kit including a plurality of sets of one-piece, angled abutments, to be used by threading means in a conventional implant located in a patient's mandible, each one-piece angled abutment included in the set comprising an angled abutment stump which includes a truncated cone structure, a non-cylindrical cavity, a short intermediate cylindrical section, and a lower threaded portion, which comprises a starting point of the thread placed within a 360° angular space spanning one round of thread in the lower threaded portion; for each one-piece angled abutment of the set, a position of the starting point of the thread of the lower threaded portion varies in a desired angular portion within the 360° angular space spanning one round of thread in the lower threaded portion, producing an angular variation of the position of the starting point of the thread of the lower threaded portion to achieve a desired angular orientation of the angled abutment stump in relation to an axis of rotation of the lower threaded portion after the one-piece angled abutment is fully threaded in said conventional implant located in a patient's mandible, and the kit further comprising a plurality of circular boxes for use with said sets, wherein; each set is characterized by a different angular portion, measured in degrees, for the angular variation of the starting point of the thread, and each set is complemented by one of the circular boxes with as many independent compartments as there are one-piece angled abutments in each set, the individual compartments containing the one-piece angled abutments ordered according to the position of the starting point of the thread within the 360° angular space and the angular orientation achieved by each angled abutment stump, and the circular box is further provided with a rotating lid in which there is a through hole to extract the one-piece angled abutments, the circular box in addition has a central coupling base consisting of a central threaded socket where the one-piece angled abutments comprised in the set can be threaded in order to visualize the angular orientation achieved by the one-piece angular abutments.
