Abstract

See full text

A dental implant anchor includes a body portion having a first external wall portion carrying one or more circumferential projections separated by circumferential grooves and, below, a second external wall portion carrying threads. The implant can include a head portion with a smooth external wall; a through-hole and an apical hole passing through the bottom of the implant; and internal structure for engaging a tool for inserting the implant in a passage formed in bone tissue. This internal structure can be in a top portion, or in an internal passage in the body portion of the implant. The method for forming a passage in bone tissue to receive the implant includes forming a passage having a base with a diameter suited to self-tapping of the threaded part of the implant, and, above the base, a larger-diameter section to engage frictionally the circumferential projections.
