The apparatus comprises a component 250 with a screw channel 230, 290, a matching screw 260 and a screw seat 240. The screw channel 230, 290 is angulated relative to the longitudinal axis of the implant 210 to which the component is attached, so that the longitudinal axis of one end of the channel 230 is different to the longitudinal axis of the other end 290. The screw channel 230, 290 may be curved or comprise straight and curved portions. Preferably the screw head 270 and/or tip is beveled or chamfered. The component 250 preferably engages with the dental implant 210 using complimentary screw threads. The component 250 may also comprise an undercut portion. The dental component 250 could include an abutment, bridge or crown.
