1. An abutment, comprising: a ceramic part; anda metal adapter removably attachable to the ceramic part,wherein the metal adapter has a conical connection interface adapted to attach to a dental implant,wherein the metal adapter comprises at least one flexible arm with a protrusion adapted to press
1. An abutment, comprising: a ceramic part; anda metal adapter removably attachable to the ceramic part,wherein the metal adapter has a conical connection interface adapted to attach to a dental implant,wherein the metal adapter comprises at least one flexible arm with a protrusion adapted to press against a side wall or snap into any corresponding recess of the ceramic part to secure the metal adapter to the ceramic part in the coronal-apical direction,wherein the metal adapter comprises at least one convex surface adapted to abut against at least one corresponding concave surface of the ceramic part to prevent rotation between the ceramic part and the metal adapter,wherein the metal adapter at its coronal end has a central protruding portion which is adapted to be received in a central apical recess of the ceramic part, andwherein said central protruding portion accommodates said at least one convex surface and said at least one flexible arm is housed within said central protruding portion. 2. The abutment according to claim 1, wherein said at least one convex surface is three convex surfaces uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction on the metal adapter, wherein said at least one corresponding concave surface is three concave surfaces uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction in the ceramic part, and wherein the metal adapter comprises three flexible arms and protrusions arranged between the three convex surfaces. 3. The abutment according to claim 1, wherein the metal adapter includes a load-bearing circumferential surface adapted to abut against a corresponding circumferential surface of the ceramic part. 4. The abutment according to claim 1, wherein the conical connection interface of the metal adapter includes an external conical shape tapering towards the apical end of the metal adapter and adapted to mate with a corresponding conical surface of the dental implant, and an external indexed portion provided apically of the conical shape adjacent to the apical end of the metal adapter. 5. The abutment according to claim 1, wherein the metal adapter includes an outer surface adapted to appose soft tissue. 6. The abutment according to claim 3, wherein the conical connection interface of the metal adapter includes an external conical shape tapering towards the apical end of the metal adapter and adapted to mate with a corresponding conical surface of the dental implant, and an external indexed portion provided apically of the conical shape adjacent to the apical end of the metal adapter,wherein the metal adapter includes an outer surface adapted to appose soft tissue, andwherein said outer surface is arranged between said load-bearing circumferential surface and said external conical shape. 7. The abutment according to claim 1, wherein the ceramic part comprises a screw channel passing through the ceramic part and forming a first opening at a first end and a second opening at an apical end, and a screw seat proximal to the apical end of the screw channel to seat the head of a screw for the fixation of the abutment to the dental implant. 8. The abutment according to claim 7, wherein the longitudinal axis of the screw channel at the first end does not match the longitudinal axis of the screw channel at the apical end. 9. The abutment according to claim 1, wherein the metal adapter comprises a bore passing through the metal adapter and forming a coronal opening and an apical opening, and wherein the bore is provided with an internal thread. 10. The abutment according to claim 1, wherein the ceramic part is adapted to support a dental restoration. 11. The abutment according to claim 1, wherein the ceramic part is a full-contour part. 12. The abutment according to claim 1, in combination with the dental implant. 13. The abutment according to claim 1, wherein the protrusion is adapted to press against the side wall and snap into any corresponding recess of the ceramic part. 14. A method of attaching the abutment of claim 5 to a dental implant anchored in a jaw bone of a patient, wherein the coronal end of the dental implant is substantially in level with the surface or crest of the jaw bone, the method comprising: attaching the abutment to the dental implant, such that said outer surface of the metal adapter is exposed to soft tissue or gum overlying the jaw bone.
