1. A dental anchoring system for fastening a prostheses, comprising a male component, a female component configured to be coupled to the male component, and a connection element, configured to be coupled to the female component, the connection element making up a retaining element of the prosthesis, the prosthesis being configured to be joined to the connection element; wherein the female component comprises a base and a side wall which delimit an inner space wherein the male component is housed; and wherein the connection element comprises a base and a side wall which delimit an inner space wherein at least one portion of the female component is housed; the female component is made of elastic material; and,
wherein the female component and the connection element are configured to move relative to each other and dampen a stress to a vicinity of the female component and the connection element when a load is applied to the anchoring system and:
the female component and the connection element are configured to be coupled and be in contact with each other by means of a curved surface and a curved recess in a vertical cross sectional view, wherein the curved surface forms part of an outer face of the side wall of the female component and the curved recess forms part of an inner face of the side wall of the connection element;
the anchoring system further comprises a clearance space delimited between an outer face of the base of the female component and an inner face of the base of the connection element;
the female component includes a conduit which interrupts the continuity of the curved surface of said female component; and between a bottom of said conduit and an inner side face of the female component a ring-shaped narrowing is configured; and wherein the combination of the conduit and ring-shaped narrowing provides mechanical elasticity to the female component;
the base of the female component comprises a through slot which communicates with the inner space of said female component; and
the outer face of the side wall of the female component comprises a ring-shaped stop which is facing a ring-shaped plane located on the inner face of the side wall of the connection element.
