Abstract:
An assembly used in osteo-integrated implants, comprising:a prosthesis support having a first trunk-conical part above a second trunk-conical part, wherein said second trunk-conical part is smaller in diameter than said first trunk-conical part, wherein in between said first and second trunk-conical parts a circular channel is defined by a peripheral sleeve projected from said first trunk-conical part, wherein the lower portion of said second trunk-conical part has a threaded exterior followed by a lower extremity substantially defined by a rounded surface; a reception element comprising an externally threaded cylindrical part having a male self-tapping part on the lower extremity thereof, wherein the upper part of said cylindrical part has first and second rings, wherein said first ring has a smaller diameter than said second ring, and said first and second rings are adapted such that they substantially mate with said circular channel and peripheral sleeve of said prosthesis support; and wherein said reception element is internally provided with a conical surface that substantially mates with said second trunk-conical part of said prosthesis support, an internal threaded section that substantially mates with said threaded exterior of said second trunk-conical part, and a rounded base that substantially mates with said rounded surface of said second trunk-conical part of said prosthesis support.
