More Information
Summary:A dental prosthetic comprising an elongate threaded implant adapted to be secured within the trabecular region of a maxilla or mandible. An abutment is secured to the elongate threaded implant and adapted to receive a crown. The abutment and elongate threaded implant extend generally along a common longitudinal axis. A generally flat surface is secured to a region where the abutment meets the implant and extends generally perpendicular to the axis of the abutment and implant. The generally flat surface is shaped to engage the cortical region of the maxilla or mandible, and thereby minimize micromotion and allow for osseointegration despite immediate installation of a crown and immediate mechanical loading. Methods for implanting dental prosthetics are also described.
