ABSTRACT:
A ball-topped screw for securing an abutment-mount to a dental implant while taking an impression of the abutment-mount using the indirect transfer method includes an elongated member having a first end and an opposite second end. A portion of the elongated member includes a threaded section for securing the first end of the elongated member and an abutment mount to a dental implant. A spherical member is affixed to the second end, whereby the spherical member provides a gripping shape for a dental impression material that has set around the spherical member while the elongated member secures an abutment mount to a dental implant.
