Abstract
The invention relates to a secondary part (1) for a dental implant (2). The secondary part (1) has a head part (3) and a connection part (4). The connection part (4) has at least two spring elements (5), which extend along a longitudinal axis (L) of the secondary part (1). The spring elements (5) have a coronal end (6) and an apical end (7) and are connected at the coronal end (6) to the head part (3) In addition, the at least two spring elements (5) are radially supported with respect to each other at the respective apical ends (7) by an end part (8). A central part (9) of at least one of the supported spring elements (5) is in this case elastically deflectable in a radial direction.

Secondary part for a dental implant, comprising
- a head part and
- a connecting part for insertion into the dental implant,
- the connecting part having at least two spring elements, which are formed as elongated struts and which extend, from the head part, along a longitudinal axis of the secondary part in an apical direction, and each having
- a coronal end
- an apical end and being connected to the head part at the coronal end,
- wherein the at least two spring elements are radially supported with respect to each other at the respective apical ends by an end part, wherein the spring elements have
- a central part,
- wherein each spring element comprises one of a protrusion and a recess positioned in the central part of each respective spring element, and the central part of at least one of the supported spring elements is elastically deflectable in a radial direction such as to exert an axial force of less than 40 N when each one of the protrusion and recess snaps into a corresponding counter-contour of the dental implant, further wherein a ratio between an outer diameter of the connecting part and radial width of each spring element is greater than 5.
