5. The dental prosthesis system as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the bolt ( 4 ) has a second cylinder portion ( 44 ) adjoining the first cylinder portion, and at a transition between the first and the second cylinder portion ( 44 ), a circumferential shoulder ( 47 ) is provided which bears on a circumferential projection within the receiving opening ( 31 ) of the implant, wherein a further interference fit results between the shoulder ( 47 ) and the circumferential projection.

6. The dental prosthesis system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the second cylinder portion ( 44 ) has, on a lateral surface, an outer thread ( 48 ) which corresponds to an inner thread ( 33 ) arranged in the receiving opening ( 31 ), wherein a root diameter of the outer thread ( 48 ) is smaller than or the same as a root diameter of the inner thread ( 33 ).

7. The dental prosthesis system as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the second cylinder portion ( 44 ) is adjoined by a further, third cylinder portion ( 45 ), wherein a diameter of the third cylinder portion is smaller than or the same as the diameter of the receiving opening ( 31 ) of the implant ( 3 ).

8. The dental prosthesis system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the distance between the lengthwise tab wall ( 72 ) and the corresponding lengthwise groove wall ( 82 ) is greater than a second distance between the widthwise tab walls ( 73 ) and the widthwise groove walls ( 83 ), such that the abutment ( 2 ) is positioned in a rotationally stable manner in the implant ( 3 ) and is tiltable relative to the implant ( 3 ).

9. The dental prosthesis system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the number of tabs ( 71 ) is less than the number of grooves ( 81 ), forming a form-fit connection.

10. The dental prosthesis system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fiber-reinforced thermoplastic has reinforcement fibers chosen from a group consisting of: carbon fiber, aramid fiber, glass fiber, carbon nanotubes, or combinations thereof.
