Abstract:
1. A method for assembling a device for transferring the rotational position of an angled abutment from a model to an implant installed in the jawbone of a patient, said method comprising: installing a first implant replica in a model; installing a second implant replica in the model; attaching an attachment member to the first implant replica; attaching an angled abutment to the second implant replica; attaching an abutment holder to the angled abutment; connecting a connecting member to the attachment member; connecting the connecting member to the abutment holder; releasing the attachment member from the first implant replica; and releasing the angled abutment from the second implant replica, wherein the rotational position of the angled abutment relative to the second implant replica and a fixed spatial relationship between the attachment member and the abutment holder are maintained after releasing the angled abutment from the second implant replica thereby making a device for transferring the rotational position of an angled abutment from a model to an implant installed in the jawbone of a patient.
