Patent ID: 8747112

Claim:
Fitting for insertion into a dental implant in an insertion orientation defining a central insertion axis (X) and an insertion direction (D) of the fitting, comprising at least one resilient spring member being expandable perpendicularly to the insertion axis (X) of the fitting, for impeding a movement of the fitting relative to the dental implant along the insertion axis (X) when inserted into the dental implant, and an inelastic alignment feature, for rotationally aligning the fitting relative to the dental implant about the insertion axis (X), the inelastic alignment feature including a circumferentially closed structure and at least one recess opening in a peripheral portion of the alignment feature; characterized in that the circumferentially closed structure of the alignment feature is at an axial position further in the insertion direction (D) than the axial position of the at least one spring member, wherein one of the at least one spring member comprises a resilient finger disposed in the at least one opening of the alignment feature.
