The implant body has a vertically aligned bore having an axis, a conical top face, and at least three sockets radially spaced on the top face. A post having a conical bottom face, a single protruding pin, a bore and a wall at an angle of preferably 10-30 degrees from the axis of the pin, is fastened to the implant body by a screw. The post is eccentric to the implant body and its direction is determined by which of the socket holes the dentist inserts the pin of the post.

International Classification:

A61C 800

US Classification:

433176

Abstract:

A dental implant is a submerged endosseous implant system and a blade implant is an integral one-piece body member having a blade-like portion, a collar support portion, and one or more cylindrical tubular collars, with each cylindrical collar having an internal screw-threaded bore. After the blade body member is positioned in the groove in the patient's jaw a short flat healing plug is screwed into the collar bore and the gum sutured and allowed to heal. After healing, the flat-headed plug is removed and an abutment head is screwed into the collar bore, the head including an externally threaded shaft portion and a head portion having a groove. The top head portion may be bent at the groove to obtain the desired head angle. The same type of abutment head is used with a submerged screw implant.
