ABSTRACT:
An implant system includes: an implant for implanting into a bone; an abutment to serve as a support for fixing a prosthesis to the bone; and a pivotal coupling between the implant and the abutment to permit, after the implant has been implanted into the bone, precise angulation in all directions of the abutment with respect to the implant before the abutment is fixed at the desired precise angulation with respect to the implant. Preferably, the pivotal coupling includes a ball-and-socket having complementary shaped contacting surfaces which are uneven to temporarily hold them in a direct pivoted position before permanently fixing them.
