A dental abutment system permitting to limit the steps and time required for a dental implant procedure. The dental abutment system (10) comprises a cap (12) coupled to a retentive member (14) that is coupled to a sheath (16). The cap (12) has a shaft (18) for coupling with a bore (24) of a dental implant (20) and the sheath (16) is coupled to the bore (24) of a dental prosthesis (26) such that the dental prosthesis (26) is frictionally retained to and removable from the cap (12). The retentive member (14) may include an area-of-weakness permitting it to break-away from the cap (12) to avoid the transmission of excessive forces to the implant (20).
