A MOUTH IMPLANT, A METHOD OF INSERTING THE IMPLANT IN THE MOUTH, AND A TOOL FOR MACHINING THE DENTAL ARCH OF THE JAWBONE FOR RECEPTION OF THE IMPLANT

摘要

An implant is placed in the jaw of a patient by cutting spaced slots in the patients jaw and locating the side plates of a U-shaped implant in the slots. The side plates are arranged so that the healing of the jaw, by fibrogenetic and osteogenetic neoformation, results in the implant becoming anchored in the jaw, and the implant is adapted for the reception of a stump, preferably a screw threaded stump to serve as an artificial tooth on a mounting for such a tooth.
