Abstract
The present invention entails an implant for insertion into the alveolar bone of a patient and wherein the implant is provided with a generally vertically projecting anchoring pin that extends from the implant into the alveolar bone of the patient and effectively interconnects the implant with the alveolar bone. Moreover, the present invention entails a method or process of implanting a dental implant including directly implanting an implant into the extraction cavity after a tooth has been extracted therefrom. As a part of this process, prior to actually implanting, the extraction cavity is reamed so as to be compatible with an optimum size and shaped implant selected from a group of standard implants.
